Rhode Island: Bill (HB5255) making E-Verify voluntary gets mixed reaction...would allow employers to decide for themselves whether they want to use E-Verify, a federal system that uses Social Security Administration and Homeland Security databases to screen out unauthorized workers. also establishes usage standards that follow federal law. That includes that employers could not prescreen potential employees before they ere hired; critics say pre-employment screening has been used illegally as a racial-profiling tool. “This bill is a voluntary E-Verify system...ACLU supports the bill; the Cranston Tea Party opposes, said, “We’re here to protect our jobs and resources and those of eligible workers.” She told the committee, “It’s our position that you don’t represent illegal aliens,” but rather, the interests of citizens.
