Sanford: State laws, US Constitution should be toughened on immigration

http://www.wistv.com/Global/story.asp?S=7183800
COLUMBIA, SC (WIS) - Governor Mark Sanford is urging SC General Assembly leaders to make immigration reforms a top priority in the legislature this year.

Sanford also wants to convene a nationwide constitutional convention to amend the US Constitution regarding immigration.

State Senate leaders have expressed support for calling the convention to deal with the issue.

Bills currently under consideration would require all employers doing business with the state to be able to verify the citizenship of their workers. The bill would also deny business expense deductions to employers of illegal workers, and would mandate withholdings on wages paid to illegal workers.

In addition, the bills would create a state felony for harboring or transporting illegal aliens, would create additional penalties for ID fraud in connection with illegal immigration, and would set up a state hotline for reporting suspected violations of immigration laws.

I worked for Albertsons for 21 years. In the stores and in there offices. Not once did they ever hire an illegal. They scruntized these people and their ID's. Then came Walmart. Walmart came in stopped benefits and hired illegals. The middle class today is still paying for these benefits and illegals that Walmart employs.
Here you have a crooked place like Walmart harming the US for their illegal practices and forcing us to pay for their employees benefits and you have Albertsons, struggling everyday to make a dollar. They pay for there employees insurance and they refuse to hire an illegal. Why? Because it is against the law. Now why does Walmart and places like them not get fined? Because they pay big money to politicans like Bush and Pelosi.
