THE SOUTH CAROLINA IMMIGRATION REFORM ACT AND NEW HIRE REPORTING

According to "Illegals to face added scrutiny:

The state is about to step up its efforts to purge South Carolina's workforce of illegal immigrants by scouring the files of small businesses for evidence of undocumented workers.

On July 1, state officials will begin auditing 110,000 companies with fewer than 100 employees to make sure they are complying with South Carolina's Illegal Immigration Reform Act, which lawmakers passed in 2008 to weed illegal aliens from the workplace.
Our guess is that a statewide New Hire Reporting Form Audit would reveal that many of the cited companies have not been filing the federally-mandated New Hire Reporting Forms either.

Again, if the State of South Carolina enforced the New Hire Reporting Laws, employers would be less likely to hire workers who could not provide proper documentation--not to mention that South Carolina would increase its child support collection rates.

To search for companies in South Carolina that have been cited for violating the State’s Illegal Immigration Reform Act click here. We think readers will be surprised to learn the names of some of the violators. But, we think they would be more surprised to learn the number of South Carolina employers who have never filed a New Hire Reporting Form and how little the State is doing to enforce compliance with the New Hire Reporting Laws.

SOUTH CAROLINA GOP GUBERNATORIAL CANDIDATES VOW TO GO IT ALONE

According to "GOP candidates tout states' rights," the South Carolina Republican gubernatorial candidates all agree that the State would be better off foregoing federal aid and asserting more control over its own affairs. However, though not current, the study The Federal Budget and the States Fiscal Year 1999" may shed some light on the question of whether South Carolina politicians are wise to push so hard for South Carolina to go it alone. If South Carolinans think times are tough now, they will not be happy when New York, Washington, Ohio, California, Oregon, and the other Donor States stop sending a check each year to help South Carolina with its Medicaid, schools, child support collections and so on.
