Arizona mandated that all businesses use E-Verify starting Jan. 1, and fewer problems have been reported than originally feared, said Ann Seiden, spokeswoman for the state Chamber of Commerce that opposed the measure in the legislature last year.

“Anecdotally, we haven’t heard as much backlash as we originally thought,” Seiden said.
