South Carolina illegal immigration proposal draws criticism from Latino group
Tagged: family, South Carolina
Like so many Mexicans, Silvestre Martinez crossed illegally into the United States, searching for a better life for her husband and now-teenage son. After a 15-day journey that included a trek through the desert, Martinez and her family found South Carolina.
Now, three years later, she’s facing state legislation that she fears could force her and her family back to their native country.
Martinez was one of several immigrants to show up at the Statehouse on Tuesday to urge legislators to take another look at proposals that would require businesses to check their employees’ legal status and allow fired employees who are replaced by illegal workers to sue.”*
