Hayes analyzes the situation of undocumented immigrants in the U.S.
and what happens to them in the aftermath of implementation of two
key provisions of the 1986 Immigration Reform and Control Act
(IRCA) legalization and employer sanctions. Referred to by
legislators as a generous and compassionate bill that would
legalize much of the undocumented population in our midst, it
resulted instead in placing a highly vulnerable silent subclass in
deeper jeopardy. Hayes traces the history of undocumented
immigration, Congressional debate and implementation of IRCA and
provides direct access to the "faces" of the undocumented through
original empirical research on the social and economic impact of
IRCA on specific groups of undocumented Haitian, Irish, and
Salvadoran immigrants. The general theme is America's ambivalence
towards its historic lifeline, new immigrants whether legal or
undocumented, and how the two central provisions of IRCA uniquely
embodied within the same piece of legislation contradictory and
ambivalent attitudes toward immigrants which became the seeds of
its implementation difficulties. Hayes looks at the issue of
undocumented immigration from a legislative, policy, human rights,
and implementation perspective, but she also points beyond national
strategies to "push factors" emanating from the home countries of
the undocumented and makes the case that undocumented immigration
is a global social problem that needs global solutions. The book is
of particular interest to policy makers, scholars, and other
researchers and students involved with social policy and welfare,
immigration law, and ethnic studies.
