Appendix A: Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986
The Immigration Reform and Control Act is designed to help control illegal immigration to the United States and to remove the stigma attached to longtime resident undocumented aliens.
The Act requires employers and employment agencies to only hire, continue to employ or refer for employment those foreign nationals who are authorized to work in the United States.

  Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The law criminalized the act of knowingly hiring an illegal immigrant and established financial and other penalties for those employing illegal aliens, because it was thought that not as many people would desire to enter the U.S. illegally if the prospects for employment were low.
This piece of legislation is frequently cited by opponents of illegal immigration as a failure in that for each illegal alien granted amnesty under the plan, approximately four new ones have since replaced them.
Hence, these critics point to the IRCA of 1986 as proof in their view that amnesty is not the solution for the large number of illegal immigrants currently in the United States.

 04/18/02 - Immigration Law Enforcement: A Legal Review
The Immigration and Nationality Act is fighting for its life on a daily basis against relentless legal attacks in the federal courts and before the Immigration Court hearing system within the United States Department of Justice (DOJ).
The Immigration Court system, with its endless menu of hearings and appeals all the way up to the Supreme Court of the United States, would utterly crash of its own weight if all of the removable aliens in the country were actually apprehended by the beleaguered Immigration and Naturalization Service.
It is not designed to enforce the Immigration Act by efficient and expeditious removal of illegal aliens and criminal alien residents from the United States.

According to Bette Davis, in a May 22, 1986 guest appearance on The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson, his Hollywood peers were not surprised when Reagan was elected California governor in 1966 and, fourteen years later, United States president.
Yet Reagan as president ignored the inevitability of heavy welfare use by 3 million aliens legalized when he signed the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986 (IRCA).
As it developed, according to a report published by the Center for Immigration Studies and titled “Measuring the Fallout: the Cost of IRCA Amnesty after Ten Years,” the Congressional minority was correct.
