Employer Sanctions
The employer sanctions provision of the Immigration Reform
and Control Act of 1986 prohibits employers from hiring, recruiting,
or referring for a fee aliens known to be unauthorized to
work in the United States.
Employment Authorization Document
Authorization to work is evidenced by this document (usually a card). It is commonly referred to as a "work permit" and is issued only in certain specific instances. This authorization is only issued when another status has been granted or is pending. Some of the people who are eligible for employment authorization are those who have applied for adjustment of status; students who have been authorized for practical training; persons who have applied for, or have been granted, asylum; certain J-2 (dependents of J-1) visa holders; persons granted temporary protected status (TPS) and others.
Exchange Visitor
An alien coming temporarily to the United States as a participant
in a program approved by the Secretary of State for the purpose
of teaching, instructing or lecturing, studying, observing,
conducting research, consulting, demonstrating special skills,
or receiving training.
Exclusion
The process of adjudicating inadmissibility may take place
in either an expedited removal process or in removal proceedings
before an immigration judge.
Expedited Removal
The Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996 authorized the BCIS (a.k.a. INS) to quickly remove certain inadmissible aliens from the United States. The authority covers aliens who are inadmissible because they have no entry documents or because they have used counterfeit, altered, or otherwise fraudulent or improper documents. The authority covers aliens who arrive in, attempt to enter, or have entered the United States without having been admitted or paroled by an immigration officer at a port-of-entry. The BCIS (a.k.a. INS) has the authority to order the removal, and the alien is not referred to an immigration judge except under certain circumstances after an alien makes a claim to legal status in the United States or demonstrates a credible fear of persecution if returned to his or her home country.
