Strengthening Law Enforcement

I am proud to support law enforcement and to ensure they have the tools needed to protect our communities. One key piece of legislation we passed in the Senate this year would allow South Carolina’s law enforcement agencies to work with federal officials to find and detain individuals living illegally in South Carolina. The plan ensures that when the tax dollars of the citizens of South Carolina are being spent on public projects, those dollars are going to law abiding and tax paying members of our communities, and not to workers who are here unlawfully.

We have also heightened the penalties for people with false identification and documentation, and for people involved in the trafficking of illegal immigrants. With tough laws and increased investigative powers, we are choosing to enforce the rule of law in South Carolina to ensure the safety and security of our communities.
