New immigration law requires employers to verify workers status
The Immigration and Naturalization Service begins phase II enforcement mandating all employers check the legal status of workers hired after November 6, 1986. Penalties include up to 10,000 in fines and six months’ imprisonment per illegal hire. Officials acknowledge confusion and fear among employers as civil rights groups warn of unjust firings, with about 3 million illegal aliens believed to work in the United States.
