Immigration plan gets go-ahead again - Beaufort County, South Carolina

“Opponents of a proposed illegal immigration ordinance warned the Beaufort County Council on Monday that the controversial measure is creating a hostile environment for Hispanics and urged the council to slow down the debate.

The council, meanwhile, voted 9-1 to approve the “lawful employment ordinance” on second reading. It also agreed to have a special meeting Dec. 27 to take a final vote, despite requests by two newly elected council members to delay the vote until after Jan. 2, when six new council members will be sworn in.”
