COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) - South Carolina investigators have found no
violations of a tough new immigration law after checking large
businesses for a month.
The Greenville News reported Sunday that Jim Knight, spokesman
for the state Department of Labor, Licensing and Regulation, said
no one has written to his agency about immigration problems
concerning companies with 100 or more workers.
Knight said the fact that no violations were found isn't
surprising, given that most of the telephoned immigration
complaints his agency has received are about small businesses,
which cannot be checked until next summer.
A new provision in state law that took effect at the start of
last month requires businesses with 100 or more employees to check
the workers' legal status through a federal database.
