WIS News 10 - Columbia, South Carolina | Beaufort County Council to vote on illegal immigrants proposal
Member Center:
(Beaufort-AP) December 27, 2006 - Companies that knowingly hire illegal aliens could lose their Beaufort County business licenses under a proposed county law set for a final vote Wednesday night.
If it's approved by the Beaufort County Council, the Lawful Employment Ordinance would take effect Monday.
Under the proposal, people who apply for a county business license must sign a form verifying that they do not knowingly employ or plan to hire an illegal immigrant.
Licensed companies would be subject to county audits.
The audit process hasn't been worked out, but a council committee has suggested annual audits of 25 percent of the roughly 5,000 businesses licensed with the county.
