South Carolina lawmakers clash on illegal immigration bill
The Senate clash over a bill to curb illegal immigration drew Hispanic opponents into a rare confrontation with the sponsor. The measure would align SC with Arizona by allowing police to check suspected illegal status, while forbidding race based suspicion. The bill's fate remains unlikely this session. Budget debates focus on abortion funding under the state health plan, with leaders arguing over covering cases of rape incest and maternal health. House Republicans cut funds for court and police to offset shortfalls, drawing Democratic criticism.
