VERSIONS OF THIS BILL
TO CALL UPON THE GOVERNOR OF THE STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA TO DECLARE, BY EXECUTIVE ORDER, THAT NO ILLEGAL ALIEN IS ELIGIBLE TO RECEIVE ANY SERVICES OR OTHER ASSISTANCE PROVIDED BY THE SOUTH CAROLINA DEPARTMENT OF SOCIAL SERVICES TO THE EXTENT ALLOWED BY LAW.
Whereas, the number of illegal aliens in the United States is reaching epidemic proportions; and
Whereas, the 2000 Census estimates that there are between six million and eleven million illegal immigrants in the United States; and
Whereas, the United States is a highly mobile nation and at any given moment, thousands upon thousands of illegal aliens are present in South Carolina; and
Whereas, the barbaric terrorist atrocities of September 11, 2001, are a grim reminder of the vital importance of the security of America's borders; and
Whereas, illegal aliens drain the state's valuable resources which should be reserved for those persons legally present in the State. And, if South Carolina refrains from providing services, particularly social services, to illegal aliens this could serve as a powerful deterrent to the presence of illegal aliens in the State. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the Senate:
That the members of the Senate, by this resolution, call upon the Governor of the State of South Carolina to declare, by executive order, that no illegal alien is eligible to receive any services or other assistance provided by the South Carolina Department of Social Services to the extent allowed by law.
