South Carolina senators betray South Carolinians (again)
Ignoring the will of the people and the catastrophic effects of illegal aliens here in the state of South Carolina, corrupt “Good Ol’ Boy” politicians again gave the green light to employers of illegal aliens. At a time when surrounding states have signaled strong measures against the foreign invasion of criminal residents, South Carolina says “Y’all Come!”

Senators Reject Immigration Bill Passed by HouseTwenty-six senators, including 7 Republicans and nineteen Democrats voted to reject House Bill H3032, handing another victory to employers of illegal migrants.
Sen. Ralph Anderson was the only member of the Greenville County Legislative Delegation to vote against the measure. Anderson has opposition in both the Democratic primary and the General Election.
The vote was 26 to 20 in opposition to H3032. Unless a bill is passed this week, action on illegal migrants will not take place this year. Observers say another year delay in action by the South Carolina General Assembly will be near catastrophic for small businesses who are feeling the unfair competition of cheap labor in the building trade.
Those opposed to the House bill are opposed to the provision that requires use of E-verify to determine if an employee is in the US legally. The Chamber of Commerce and Farm Bureau Lobby insists that other, less effective means be allowed to determine the legality of employees. Critics say a bill with loopholes would be worse than no bill at all.
Since Georgia and several other states have adopted laws to protect their states from invasion by illegal migrants, illegal migrants have been coming to South Carolina in record numbers. In fact, the Palmetto State has had a greater increase in illegal migrants than any state in the union in recent years.
Republican Senators voting against H3032 were Glenn McConnell, Hugh Leatherman, Chauncey Gregory, John Knotts, Billy O’Dell and Luke Rankin.
With hope slim that a workable bill will be passed this year to head off an economic crisis in the state caused by the social cost of illegal migrants, some supporters of the House bill have set their sights on the defeat of incumbent senators in the upcoming elections.
Roan Garcia-Quintana has been operating a website at americanshavehadenough.org to keep citizens informed about illegal migration.
Radio Talk Show Host Russ Cassell of the Russ and Lisa Show on WORD Radio at 1330 a.m. has recently announced that he is starting an organization dedicated to defeating incumbents in the South Carolina Senate in the upcoming elections.
