随着最近在联邦层面上改革移民政策的努力失败，各州开始自行处理移民事务，研究人员一直在密切关注围绕移民政策的州动态。然而，到目前为止，对可能未经授权的移民或美国本土人实施电子验证的后果还没有明确的认识。本研究旨在通过分析各种类型的电子验证授权的颁布可能对这些群体的就业和工资产生的影响来填补这一空白。我们发现，就业核查任务的颁布降低了可能未经授权的工人就业的可能性。此外，它还提高了可能未经授权的妇女的小时工资。这些影响都没有观察到一个类似的熟练样本的入籍西班牙裔移民。最后，电子验证授权的颁布似乎提高了非西班牙裔本地人的就业可能性，同时提高了本地出生的男性员工的时薪，暗示了未经授权的移民和非西班牙裔本地人的潜在替代性。(JEL J2、J3、J6）
As recent efforts to reform immigration policy at the federal level have failed, states have started to take immigration matters into their own hands and researchers have been paying closer attention to state dynamics surrounding immigration policy. Yet, to this date, there is not a clear understanding of the consequences of enforcing E-Verify on likely unauthorized immigrants or on natives across the United States. This study aims to fill in that gap by analyzing the impact that the enactment of various types of E-Verify mandates may have on the employment and wages of these groups. We find that the enactment of employment verification mandates reduces the employment likelihood of likely unauthorized workers. Additionally, it raises the hourly wages of likely unauthorized women. None of these impacts are observed among a similarly skilled sample of naturalized Hispanic immigrants. Finally, the enactment of E-Verify mandates appears to raise the employment likelihood of alike non-Hispanic natives, while raising the hourly wage of native-born male employees, alluding to the potential substitutability of unauthorized immigrants and non-Hispanic natives.
