I think there may be reverberations in South Carolina shortly.

More on South Carolina--I remember a couple of years back in Hilton Head a member of a Black Leadership group was begging the feds, the state, or the locality to please enforce illegal alien laws because young blacks could not find employment in the hospitality business (restaurants, hotels, gold courses, etc.)

The businesses liked hiring illegals. They were humble, lovable, hardworking and had no rights...

Didn't I read a few days back that Lord Lindsey of Graham thought illegal immigration was great because it kept his favorite golf courses so green and tidy?
