The Immigration Control and Reform Act of 1986 (IRCA) gives undocumented aliens a chance to be granted legal immigration status. This document is the third quarter assessment of the Act, which ends its application period on May 4, 1988. The overall finding is that the legalization program requires major policy intervention before it is over or the chance to bring order to the immigration structure will be lost. More specific findings and recommendations include the following: (1) the public...

This document assesses the preliminary impact of the first year of the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986 (IRCA).

This booklet contains two papers on Western European countries' attempt to deal with illegal immigration through employer sanctions. In "Deterrence without Discrimination," Mark J. Miller discusses the sanctions employed by France and the Federal Republic of Germany (FRG). Evidence from the early years of enforcement reveals that due to poor interagency cooperation, insufficient enforcement personnel, and mild penalties, the sanctions appeared to have failed. However, in the early...

The Reagan Administration opposes proposed legislation (Senate 377) that would provide special assistance, including temporary stays of deportation, for El Salvadoran nationals illegally in the United States. First, such legislation will accomplish nothing that cannot be done better or more equitably under the Refugee Act of 1980, which established a comprehensive system under which any person, regardless of origin, can apply for and receive individual consideration of the merits of his or her...

The Immigrant Reform and Control Act (IRCA) of 1986 provided a one-time opportunity for people who had been living in the United States illegally to obtain legal resident status and eventually qualify for citizenship. In order to go from temporary to permanent status, applicants were now required to demonstrate a minimal understanding of English and U.S. History or to pursue a course of study to that effect. This report provides an updated demographic and educational profile of the California...

The purpose of this bill is to amend the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996 to permit states to determine state residency for higher education purposes and to amend the Immigration and Nationality Act to cancel the removal and adjust the status of certain alien college-bound students who are long-term U.S. residents. The Student Adjustment Act of 2001, which includes a special ruling for children in middle or secondary school, focuses on restrictions on...

As of 2015, eighteen states in the nation had enacted tuition equity laws granting resident tuition rates to qualifying undocumented students. The state of Texas was the pioneer of this movement, approving House Bill 1403 in July of 2001. The initiative came to be known as the 'Texas Dream Act' (TDA). It granted a large reduction in the cost of college attendance for undocumented students, moving them from out-of-state to in-state status in terms of tuition and fees. The complex institutional...

This paper examines the effect of a short-lived increase in tuition rates on undocumented college students' schooling decisions. In the spring of 2002, the City University of New York (CUNY) reversed its policy of charging in-state tuition rates to undocumented college students who could demonstrate that they migrated to New York at a relatively young age. The policy was in place for exactly one semester; by fall 2002, the New York legislature restored the in-state tuition policy for eligible...

Rural Mexico's economy currently relies heavily on illegal migrants to the United States. Severing the link between rural Mexican households and U.S. labor markets would require restructuring not only affecting U.S. industries, which are the focus of federal immigration reform, but also migrant-sending economies in Mexico. If effectively enforced, immigration reforms in the United States also will have an impact on Mexico's urban labor markets, to which many Mexico-U.S. migrants would turn for...

With the 1982 Supreme Court decision in the case of Plyler v.

However, such clarity has not been the case for undocumented students pursuing higher education. As increasing numbers of undocumented students graduate from high school, some with undocumented parents and some who are unaccompanied youth seeking asylum, many dream of the opportunity to...

This report examines the effects of the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986 (IRCA) on the raisin industry's labor market, and provides educators with background on California migrant workers and their deteriorating working conditions. Because the raisin harvest lasts only 3-4 weeks but employs 40,000-50,000 workers, any effects of IRCA on agricultural labor markets should be most visible in the raisin grape industry. Interviews were conducted with 125 raisin harvest workers, 323 growers,...

First, the testimony proposes that various studies of the cost of immigration agree only that currently illegal immigrants are net consumers of public services. Second, that there is no agreement and no reliable estimate of the size of...

This paper considers U.S. immigration in terms of this country's fertility, mortality, and migration rates and patterns. Statistics and estimates are provided for both legal and illegal immigrants, and the positive and negative effects of population growth and decline are explored. The paper concludes that rising immigration rates will help balance low U.S. fertility rates but that an increase in immigration may also lead to overpopulation problems in the next 100 years. Immigration policies,...

Illegal immigration has become one of the most important issues we face as a nation, and as greater attention is focused on the sociological and economic impact of illegal immigration, policies related to in-state-tuition for unauthorized residents are in a state of flux. Since 2005, the number of states offering in-state-tuition for unauthorized residents has more than doubled. Using the rational from "Plyler v.

Several times early in the twentieth century total annual immigration exceeded one million people. Current immigration figures may match those record totals. Since 1979, legal immigrants have averaged 566,000 a year; newly arrived refugees and asylees approved have averaged 135,000; and the "settled" illegal immigrant population may be growing by up to half a million a year. Many illegal immigrants entered the United States legally and then overstayed their visas, and there has also...

![ERIC ED607225: Unauthorized Alien Students: Issues and "DREAM Act" Legislation. CRS Report RL33863, Version 32. Updated Immigration reform has been hotly debated in recent years. Broadly construed, it encompasses a range of issues, including the highly controversial question of legalizing large numbers of unauthorized immigrants in the United States. A historically less controversial, more targeted legalization proposal has been included in "DREAM Act" legislation, which seeks to enable certain unauthorized aliens who entered the United States as children to obtain legal immigration status. The name DREAM Act derives from the bill title, Development, Relief, and Education for Alien Minors Act, but it refers more broadly to a class of measures to provide immigration relief to unauthorized students, whether or not particular bills carry that name. Multiple DREAM Act bills have been introduced in recent Congresses to address the unauthorized student population. Most have proposed a two-prong approach of repealing the 1996 provision and enabling some unauthorized alien students to become U.S. lawful permanent residents (LPRs) through an immigration procedure known as cancellation of removal. While there are other options for dealing with this population, this report deals exclusively with the DREAM Act approach in light of the considerable congressional interest in it. This report discusses legislation in the 111th, 112th, and 113th Congresses.]()

In 2012, there were an estimated 11.2 million undocumented individuals living in the United States. The peak of unauthorized immigrant population occurred in 2007 with 12.2 million, a stark rise from original estimates of 3.5 million in 1990. Although down from its peak, a sizeable and stable population of unauthorized individuals resides in the United States. Given this population, both federal and state authorities have taken action to provide policy and regulations for this group. Among...

Results support the argument that children with undocumented immigrant parents suffer higher risks of poverty and poor health than...
