The Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986, regulated by the Department of Homeland Security, aims to control illegal immigration. The act makes it unlawful for an employer to hire, recruit, or refer for a fee any unauthorized alien or any person without verifying their work status. It also mandates the I-9 employment verification system. According to the U.S. Department of Justice, the current penalty for unlawful employment of aliens is up to $3000 per unauthorized person and employers who demonstrate a pattern of violations can even be imprisoned for up to six months.
