The South Carolina Plan
Bill Summary

Memorandum of Understanding

The Chief of SLED will enter into negotiations with the Federal Government to attempt to reach an understanding that would allow South Carolina to enforce federal immigration laws on the state level, determine reimbursement for the detention of illegals, training of law enforcement and deportation.

Crimes Committed by Illegal Aliens

Law enforcement will ascertain the immigration status of any person arrested and detained for committing a crime. If the arrested person is illegally in the US, law enforcement will notify the Department of Home Land Security and the cost of the detainment will be billed to the federal government.

Bond for Illegal Aliens

A magistrate setting bond will consider a persons immigration status when setting that person’s bond.

Illegal Alien Financial Fraud

A person cannot create or alter financial documents used to gain illegal entry into the US and they will lose any benefits received from this fraud. Also, provides a civil cause of action for any person who can show an ascertainable loss as a result of such a fraud.

No Sanctuary Cities

No town or City in South Carolina can ignore our immigration laws and become a safe haven for illegal aliens, as has happened in some cities around the country.

No Public College Admission and No Scholarships for Illegal Aliens

No illegal alien would be permitted to attend any state supported college or university in South Carolina. Also, no illegal alien will receive any state sanctioned scholarships or benefits if they were to attend a private college or university.

Illegals will not receive benefits from South Carolina Taxpayers

Illegal aliens will not be entitled to public benefits provided by taxpayer funds. Signed affidavits will serve as temporary authorization until status is verified through the SAVE program. Falsifying an affidavit will be a felony offence.

There are certain legal exclusions such as disaster relief, criminal domestic violence services and emergency medical services.

Public Employment of illegal aliens

Employers who have public contracts must verify the legal status of employees through a federal work authorization program.

Employment Protection for South Carolinians

Creates a civil right of action against any employer who terminates an employee while retaining a person the employer knows or should know is not legally present in the US.

However, if an employer voluntarily submits a list of their employees through an internet-based program run by the Department of Homeland Security, they will be held harmless from the aforementioned cause of action.

No Harboring of Illegal Aliens

Makes it a felony to transport, conceal, harbor or shelter an illegal alien with the goal of furthering that illegal presence.

I like it! Has this bill passed in the house yet?

Wow this is great

WOW! I MIGHT MOVE THERE IF THIS IS PASSED!

Since the democrats who run all forms of government except the US senate in North Carolina with virginia,georgia,ideas in alabama and now South Carolina.All the illegals will come to NC from neighboring states.We are the only state who are doing nothing because we are one of the last southern states to be in the grip of the democratic party.The democrats see them as votes.I know that there are republican business owners in NC betraying us also.I think the last count I saw was 70,000 illegals in SC and 400,000 in NC and the governor and senate and house do not see a problem and the SC does.STOP VOTING AGAINST YOUR INTEREST !

"WOW! I MIGHT MOVE THERE IF THIS IS PASSED!"

Not so fast. i'm sure the pro-illegal invaders already have their court papers ready to file in the event this wonderful law is passed.

That seems to the the modus operandi of these groups. The people pass law to take back our country and the illegals file motions in court to block the law. Then some pro-illegal sympathizing judge rules in the favor of the illegals.

Lets hope that does not happen.
