Columbia (AP) -- South Carolina employers could face fines up to $10,000 for each illegal immigrant they hire under legislation the state Senate has passed.

Quote:
’If you’re operating in bad faith, if you’re hiring illegals, this state will have an aggressive monitoring system and a penalty system. And the message will go out loud and clear that you’re going to abide by the laws in the state of South Carolina,’ the Charleston Republican said.

If the bill passes, the state Revenue Department would have to notify employers as early as July about new rules requiring them to verify their workers through a federal electronic system; a new paper-based system set up by the state; or with South Carolina-issued driver’s licenses and identification cards.
