Abstract: Employer sanctions under !RCA intended to force U.S. employers to adjust to a smaller, more legal workforce. This paper focuses on farm labor contractor activity as a vehicle to test !RCA' s effectiveness. Findings do not support the hypothesis that !RCA has suceeded in reducing the flow of new immigrants to California agriculture.
