OPINION: Sanctuary Hospitals Face E-Verify Push Amid Claims Undocumented Hiring Displaces Black Workers

An anonymous physician argues that undocumented hiring in sanctuary-city hospitals is displacing Black American workers in entry-level health-care roles and depressing wages. Citing economists who warn of labor-market impacts, the piece criticizes sanctuary policies and hospital practices and urges stricter enforcement such as E-Verify, vendor accountability, and transparent hiring focused on local citizens. The author calls for apprenticeships and reporting by citizenship status to restore opportunities for Black communities.
