SOUTH CAROLINA -- If the United States can't secure its border, state lawmakers say they will at least try to close South Carolina's to illegal immigrants.
But as the General Assembly reconvenes today, there are questions as to whether the members of the House and Senate can reach an accord — and keep the state out of court at the same time.
On Monday, House leadership outlined their plans to give the state one of the toughest anti-illegal immigration laws in the land. Meanwhile, senators have sent their own bill to the House and will push for a constitutional convention to give states the right to deny benefits to illegal immigrants and have them forced out of the country.
