Answer 1

Answer:

Option D, Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986, is the right answer.

Explanation:

The Immigration Reform and Control Act was enacted by the 99th Congress of the United States and signed by Ronald Reagan into law, on 6th November 1986. This was the law that altered the immigration laws of the United States by declaring it illegal to intentionally hire unauthorized immigrants and placing monetary and other sentences for businesses that employed unauthorized immigrants.

At the time of hiring of the workers, the employers were required to complete a Form I-9 to verify that the employee is either a citizen of the United States or is authorized to work in the United States.

Therefore, as a requirement of this rule, Janet has to present her proof of citizenship.
