The opportunity for employment is one of the most important magnets attracting illegal immigrants to the United States. Immigration experts state that strategies to deter illegal immigration require both a reliable employment eligibility verification process and a worksite enforcement capacity to ensure that employers comply with immigration-related employment laws. This report examines (1) the current employment verification (Form I-9) process and challenges, if any, facing verification; and (2) the priorities and resources of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's (ICE) worksite enforcement program and any challenges in implementing the program. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-05-813/html/GAOREPORTS-GAO-05-813.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-05-813/pdf/GAOREPORTS-GAO-05-813.pdf GAO-05-813 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-GAO-05-813 Other Written Product GAO-05-813; Immigration Enforcement: Weaknesses Hinder Employment Verification and Worksite Enforcement Efforts; Eligibility criteria Eligibility determinations Employment Employment requirements Identity verification Illegal aliens Immigrants Immigration Program evaluation Strategic planning Basic Pilot Program Citizen Attestation Verification Pilot Program Title 8 Section 1324aet seq.
