Immigration legislation: Latinos ask South Carolina to reconsider - Gov Sanford expected to sign controversial bill into law today

On the eve of Gov. Mark Sanford’s signing an immigration bill into law, a dozen Latino residents from Charleston staged a protest at the State House.

Holding handmade posters, the group made one last effort Tuesday to fight back the bill that would regulate businesses’ hiring practices and bar illegal immigrants from attending state colleges.

“We’re here one more time to say, ‘Reconsider it,’” said Diana Salazar, president of the Latino Association of Charleston.”*
