EXHII BIT C <br />Overview of The Immigration Reform and Control Act <br />The Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986 (IRCA) makes it unlawful for an employer to hire <br />any person who is not legally authorized to work in the United States and it requires employers to <br />verify the employment eligibility of all new employees. <br />IRCA also prohibits discrimination in hiring and termination based on national origin (as does Title <br />VII) and on citizenship status. IRCA's anti -discrimination provisions are intended to prevent <br />employers from attempting to comply with the Act's work authorization requirements by <br />discriminating against foreign400king or foreign -sounding job applicants. <br />IRCA's anti -discrimination provisions apply to smaller employers than those covered by <br />EEOC -enforced laws. <br />• IRCA's national origin discrimination provisions apply to employers with between 4 and 14 <br />employees (who would not be covered by Title VII). <br />■ IRCA's citizenship discrimination provisions apply to all employers with at least 4 employees. <br />• IRCA is enforced by the U.S. Department of Justice.
