Making Amnesty Work: Joint Efforts To Meet the Needs of Newly Legalized Workers.
Wrigley, Heide Spruck; Brady, Katherine A.
This handbook provides information and ideas to be considered in the formation of the kinds of partnerships among service providers (i.e., advocacy groups, coalitions, educational agencies, churches, community-based organizations, etc.) that will be needed to enable both documented and undocumented immigrants to meet the Phase 2 legalization regulations of the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986 (IRCA). Chapters address the following: educational requirements for immigrant legalization under IRCA; regulations governing IRCA legalization programs, including requirements for eligibility, application procedures, the differential requirements of the Special Agricultural Worker (SAW) program, and eligibility for United States citizenship; approaches and considerations in working with coalitions, hotlines, and non-profit legal agencies to disseminate information about Phase 2; potential for bringing community issues and student concerns into the legalization curriculum; status of newly legalized workers in the changing economy; specific challenges in helping workers become legalized; specific strategies for employers interested in collaborating with coalitions and service providers; regulations concerning employer sanctions and anti-discrimination provisions; responding to immigrant worker needs for English as a Second Language and civics instruction; development of an appropriate curriculum; and the situation of a large population of undocumented persons, many of them refugees from the wars in Central America, who arrived after 1982, the cut-off date for the general legalization program. Appended materials include Immigration and Naturalization Service test questions and sentences, a list of resource centers, an extensive list of print and non-print resources, addresses of regional processing facilities and legalization offices, and an overview of legalized alien eligibility for public benefits.
