After the Pierce County Council voted to remove E-Verify as a requirement for hiring contractors, the decision was vetoed by County Executive Bruce Dammeier, prompting a debate on whether the program discriminates against people of color.
U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano speaks during a news conference to announce the launch of E-Verify Self Check service. After the Pierce County Council voted to remove E-Verify as a requirement for hiring contractors, the decision was vetoed by County Executive Bruce Dammeier, prompting a debate within the community on whether the program discriminates against legal immigrants or people of color.
Dammeier stated he had never heard any complaints or concerns about the efficiency or effectiveness of E-Verify in the ten-plus years the county has used it before he received a letter last summer from Washington Perinatal.King County uses ‘Antifa tactics’ against reporter covering homeless shelter expansion
Those in favor of eliminating the program said they were concerned human errors — typos, name changes, multiple surnames — led to people becoming ineligible to work. They also stated this disproportionately impacted legal immigrants, naturalized citizens, and married women. Ryan Mello, Pierce County Councilmember representing District 4, went to Facebook to air out his grievances against Dammeier’s swift decision to veto their vote.
