Information On The Enforcement Of Laws

Regarding Employment Of Aliens In Selected

Countries


This study provides information on legal and illegal
alien workers in 1 9 countries and Hong Kong. Specif-
ically, GAO compiled information on the countries'
laws and policies concerning guest workers, national
identification documents, employer responsibilities,
illegal alien workers, and law enforcement. The Sub-
committee on Immigration and Refugee Policy, Senate
Committee on the Judiciary, requested the study
because it felt that the experience of these countries
would be useful as it considers immigration reform
proposals.

The information was obtained by questionnaire.
Because of the subcommittee's specific interest, fol-
lowup visits were made to four countries--Canada,
France, Switzerland, and the Federal Republic of
Germany--to obtain more detailed responses.

The discussion of each country's situation contains
characterizations of its laws, legal requirements, and
sanctions. In most cases, GAO did not independently
examine the countries' laws, regulations, and case
law, but rather based its characterizations on infor-
mation furnished by the countries in response to the
questionnaire or in interviews.
