Abstract

AbstractEmployer 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. This paper presents findings of an econometric analysis of farm worker turnover as a vehicle to test IRCA's effectiveness. Our findings do not support the hypothesis that IRCA initially succeeded in reducing the reliance on new immigrants in California agriculture.
