The Times and Democrat (Orangeburg, South Carolina)
ISSUE: Illegal immigration
OUR VIEW: While federal government should act, state should not sit idly by
The S.C. Legislature has put combatting illegal immigration high on its list of priorities for the new session. A majority of South Carolinians will approve.
While Orangeburg Sen. Brad Hutto during the recent S.C. Press Association Legislative Conference correctly emphasized that state lawmakers are limited in what they can do until the immigration issue is addressed federally, South Carolina should not wait on Congress and the president to come to some accord on the issue, particularly as neighboring states are taking action.
