Employer sanctions under the 1986 Immigration Reform and Control Act (IRCA) were intended to encourage U.S. employers to adjust to a smaller, more legal workforce.

Our findings do not support the hypothesis that IRCA initially succeeded in reducing the reliance on new immigrants in California agriculture.
