Reducing Illegal Immigration Through Employment Verification,Enforcement, and Protection

Immigration reform has many facets: It must pro­tect national security, uphold the rule of law, strengthen citizenship, and benefit the American economy.[1] The overall effect must be to reduce illegal immigration in to the United States. Although border security generally receives more attention,[2] serious enforcement of current laws prohibiting the employ­ment of illegals is also an important tool in an overall strategy to reduce illegal immigration.

The majority of persons who enter the U.S. ille­gally or unlawfully overstay temporary visas do so for purposes of employment. Employment of such indi­viduals has been illegal since 1986, although that law has never been seriously enforced. If access to employment were curtailed in accord with that law, many (probably even a large majority) of current ille­gal immigrants would leave the country voluntarily, and the number of future illegal entrants would be greatly reduced.
