SOUTH CAROLINA HOUSE DEBATING EMPLOYER IMMIGRATION BILL
The South Carolina House is poised to approve an immigration bill that has already passed in the Senate. If approved, the bill could become law by the end of next month, making South Carolina the latest state to pass significant immigration legislation. According to The State, the Columbia, South Carolina daily newspaper, the bill would have the following impact on employers:
• Contractors doing business with state and local government must verify employees’ legal work status through E-Verify.
• Local ordinances could not pre-empt state law.
• Businesses could not count wages paid to illegal immigrants as a deduction for state income tax purposes.
• Businesses would be required to withhold 6 percent of illegal immigrants’ wages to pay state income taxes.
• A worker fired from a job would be allowed to sue the employer if an illegal immigrant keeps his job.
• The state grand jury would be empowered to investigate identity fraud.
