The Beaufort Gazette
South Carolina -- A Beaufort County Council committee Wednesday pushed ahead with a proposed ordinance to curb illegal immigration despite what the county attorney described as a "distinct possibility" of a legal challenge.
After three hours of public comment, discussion and at times heated debate, the Community Services and Public Safety Committee voted 5-1 to bring the ordinance, now called the Lawful Employment Ordinance, before the full County Council on Monday for a public hearing and the second of three required readings.
