Book Description
An investigation was made of the Immigration Reform and Control Act (IRCA) of 1986, which requires employers to verify employment eligibility of workers and imposes civil and criminal penalties against employers who knowingly hire unauthorized workers. The study reviewed federal agency implementation of irca, reviewed discrimination complaints filed with federal agencies and data from groups representing aliens, and used additional methods to obtain data on IRCA's effects. The other methods included a statistically valid survey of more than 9,400 employers and a hiring audit in which pairs of persons (one a "foreign-sounding, foreign-appearing" Hispanic and one an Anglo with no foreign accent) who matched closely on job qualifications applied for jobs with 360 employers in 2 cities. The study found that the IRCA: (1) has apparently reduced illegal immigration and is not an unnecessary burden on employers; (2) has generally been carried out satisfactorily by the Immigration and Naturalization Service and the Department of Labor; and (3) has not been used as a vehicle to launch frivolous complaints against employers. The study also found that widespread discrimination was a result of the irca: many employers discriminated because the law's verification system does not provide a simple or reliable method to verify job applicants' eligibility to work. The discrimination would be reduced if employers were provided with more education on the law's requirements and a simpler, more reliable verification system. (The document includes 22 tables, 20 figures, and copies of the questionnaires.)

Book Description
Pursuant to a legislative mandate, GAO reviewed the first-year implementation and enforcement of the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986 provisions regarding sanctions against employers who knowingly hire unauthorized workers, focusing on: (1) the Immigration and Naturalization Service's (INS) efforts to educate the public about the law; (2) its planned enforcement approach; and (3) whether the provisions have caused a pattern of discrimination against eligible workers or an unnecessary regulatory burden on employers. GAO found that INS: (1) mailed explanatory handbooks to 7 million employers and began a national media campaign to implement the law and to help ensure voluntary compliance; (2) plans to allocate $60 million during fiscal year (FY) 1988 to implement the employer sanctions provision; and (3) plans to target about 20,000 employers for compliance investigations. GAO also found that the Department of Labor: (1) included investigation of employers' compliance forms in its labor law enforcement efforts; (2) served two employers with notices for knowingly hiring unauthorized aliens; (3) filed 67 alleged violations of the law's anti-discrimination provisions as of September 1987; and (4) filed 52 charges related to employer sanctions with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. In addition, GAO found that: (1) the discrimination charges did not constitute a pattern of discrimination or an unreasonable regulatory burden for employers; and (2) data limitations may preclude determination of the existence of a pattern of discrimination or an unnecessary regulatory burden.
