US policymakers and the country's media erupted in a frenzy this summer over the issue of unaccompanied minors: Tens of thousands of youth from Central America, headlines proclaimed, will try to enter the US in 2014 alone. But how to define these youth remains hotly contested. Similar debates are happening in plenty of other countries, from Italy to Kenya to Australia. Yet the roots of dispute run particularly deep in the US, which, due to centuries of economic success, has absorbed tens of millions of immigrants. Long before Latino children became an issue, US leaders debated what to do with Chinese laborers, Eastern European radicals, even Africa slaves. In the process, the country played a pivotal role in defining the now-controversial term 'illegal alien.'. Adapted from the source document.

Odeh Mutawe Korian was late for his deportation hearing. His brother and an interpreter sat ill at ease in the chamber where the immigration judge and the government prosecutor exchanged annoyed glances as the minutes ticked by. At 9:15 A.M., fifteen minutes late, an unshaven, disheveled little man rushed in followed by two Immigration Service agents, nodded curtly at no one in particular, and slumped into a chair. He stared morosely at a spot on the table before him."Please remove your hat," the judge said. The little man reached up to tear off his beret without shifting his gaze, avoiding all the eyes fixed upon him.

The hiring of illegal aliens by any business in the United States can result in more significant consequences because of the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986 and the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigration Responsibility Act of 1996. Both pieces of federal legislation are aimed at placing a bigger burden of responsibility on private employers. The new
laws make hiring illegal aliens a federal crime. The resources of the United States can be put behind litigation against violators. By conducting a review of the literature on both these federal acts, along with any other immigration
changes in regards to hiring foreign workers, conclusions and recommendations can be drawn to assist and guide a private employer from avoiding hiring illegal aliens.
