Designed to inform key members of La Raza about practical implications of the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986, this bulletin outlines immediate action that should be taken to educate the Hispanic community and employers about the legislation. Brief summaries are provided for four critical provisions of the legislation: (1) a legalization program that permits certain individuals to become permanent resident aliens; (2) farmworker provisions; (3) a requirement that non-citizen applicants for federal benefit programs be screened to insure legal entitlement; and (4) employer sanctions that make it illegal for employers to knowingly hire undocumented persons. The following section sets out actions that should be taken and actions that should be avoided by employers as well as individual Hispanics. Employers are cautioned against firing any current employees regardless of their immigration status or discriminating against individuals on the basis of national origin. Undocumented immigrants are cautioned against going to the Immigration and Naturalization Service to apply for legalization or paying anyone who purports to be able to help with applications for legalization. A press release is attached containing the views of Raul Yzaguirre, president of the National Council of La Raza, on the new immigration legislation. (JHZ)
