On November 6, 1986, the President signed into law immigration reform legislation. The new law (P.L. 99-603, "Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986" ) makes it unlawful for any person knowingly to hire, recruit or refer for a fee any alien not authorized to work. It also requires that employees comply with the employment verification system as outlined by the law.
