Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
The Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986 aims to reduce illegal immigration by prohibiting employers from hiring and retaining employees who do not have legal authorization to work in the United States. It also includes provisions to prevent discrimination based on national origin or citizenship status, indirectly extending protections similar to those in the Civil Rights Act of 1964 to individuals who may appear or sound foreign.
