Illegal immigrants bill advances – Legislation backer says it’s what voters want; foe sees thin veil for racism – South Carolina
Tagged: South Carolina
A statewide onslaught against illegal immigrants passed the first of three major hurdles Wednesday, but critics argued that it’s nothing more than “feel-good” legislation that panders to South Carolinians frustrated by Congress’ failure to act.
Meanwhile, some immigration advocates find the state legislation a thin veil for racism.
“Anytime you pass a bill that the public is very vocal about wanting, someone is going to say legislators are pandering,” said House Speaker Bobby Harrell, R-Charleston, who is lead sponsor of the bill. “The reality is, we’re just responding to what our constituents have said they want to see done.”*
