As federal efforts stall, South Carolina ponders illegal immigration bills
Tagged: South CarolinaPosted on: July 16th, 2007“Immigration reform at the national level is dead for now, but S.C. lawmakers say bills aimed at tackling the issue at the state level might be the hottest topic during the next legislative session.
The state Senate passed a bill last year that proposes crackdowns on identity theft and businesses that hire illegal immigrants, but the House never took up the issue. The House also considered several bills that failed.
Now, with passions still flaring from the debate on immigration in Congress and a chorus of concern from many areas in the state, some lawmakers say they will work on state-level legislation.”
