curb illegal immigration

Legislation intended to curb illegal immigration in South Carolina is headed to the House floor.
The House Judiciary Committee passed the bill Tuesday after three hours of debate, largely on technical wording.
The bill requires employers to check the legal status of their workers, bar illegal adults from public assistance, outlaw sanctuary cities, and make it a felony to help someone into the country or avoid detection.
House leaders said their bill is more comprehensive than a similar Senate bill, passed by that chamber last year. Leaders expect the House to debate its bill on the floor next week.
