SC COUNTY ORDINANCE STALLS WHEN IMMIGRATION SANCTIONS ARE ADDED

The Greenville News (SC) reports on efforts to pass a county ordinacne that would require all businesses outside municipal limits to pay a $15 annual fee to register with the county. An attempt by Councilman Sid Cates to add a provision that would revoke a business license if a business employs illegally present immigrants and requiring businesses to sign a statement under penalty of perjury stating that they don’t has drawn substantial opposition and the bill has now stalled.
