Activity
Research the history of the Immigration Service in the United States.
Read about the following laws:
• 1986 Immigration Reform and Control Act (IRCA)
• 1990 Immigration Act
• 1996 Illegal Immigrant Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act (IIRIRA)
Identify three issues that these laws were designed to address. Using current news sources identify one issue the country is still working to solve.
Answer:
The Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996 (IIRAIRA) strengthened U.S. immigration laws, adding penalties for undocumented immigrants who commit crimes while in the United States or who stay in the U.S. for statutorily defined periods of time.
The Act was designed to improve border control by imposing criminal penalties for racketeering, alien smuggling and the use or creation of fraudulent immigration-related documents and increasing interior enforcement by agencies charged with monitoring visa applications and visa abusers. The Act also allows for the deportation of undocumented immigrants who commit a misdemeanor or a felony.
The Act mandates that immigrants who are unlawfully present in the U.S. for 180 days but under 365 days must remain outside the United States for three years unless pardoned. If they remain in the United States for 365 days or more, they must stay outside the United States for ten years unless they obtain a waiver. However, if they return to the U.S. without the pardon, they must wait 10 years until they may apply for a waiver.

Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act
immigrationExplanation:Because it makes sense and its a proven fact
Answer:
The Immigration Service was established in 1891 to regulate immigration that started to increase in 1880. In the first 20 years of the 20th century, the “Great Wave” of immigrants came from Europe. Immigration decreased during the World Wars and the Great Depression. People did come from Mexico for work in agriculture during all of this time, however.
Problem: Documents
One of the problems that developed with immigration was that some people came without proper papers and permission. This is often called being “undocumented.”
Problem:
Lack of border controls contributed to ability to enter.
Problem: Contributions
Another goal of immigration laws was to encourage skilled workers to immigrate to the United States. Many workers who were entering without documentation had few skills. Another goal was to contribute to family stability. Immigration rules needed to give priority to family members of people who had become citizens.
The 1986 Immigration Reform and Control Act was passed to give unauthorized aliens (non-citizens) the chance to apply for legal status. If they met the requirements they could gain legal status. The requirements included a clean criminal record and registering with the Selective Service. Applicants also had to have knowledge of US history, government, and English.
In 1996, the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act was passed to enforce border patrol, monitor illegal activities, and regulate employment practices.
In 2015, border control remains an issue. Presidential candidates discuss how to improve systems so entry to the country is regulated and effective and safe.
