Statement of Wade J. Henderson Regarding the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986, April 10, 1987

Henderson, on behalf of the ACLU, addresses concerns regarding the implementation of the anti-discrimination provisions of the Immigration Reform and Control Act (IRCA) of 1986. His remarks highlight the failure of the Department of Justice to establish the Office of Special Counsel to enforce anti-discrimination measures, leading to widespread employment discrimination against non-citizens and minorities due to employer fears of violating immigration laws.
