SC House to Begin Work on Illegal Immigration Bill | WSAV TV: "A South Carolina House panel will begin work on a bill that would require law enforcement officers to try to check a person's immigration status after they're stopped or arrested.
A House subcommittee will debate Thursday the measure that the Senate passed last month.
The bill says someone with a valid driver's license, military ID or passport would be presumed a legal resident. If officers suspect someone is in the country illegally, they would have to call Immigrations and Custom Enforcement. But a person could not be held on that suspicion."

I monitor and analyze international press on Mexico, with a focus on security, immigration, human rights and social movements for peace and justice, from a feminist perspective. And sometimes I simply muse.
