| Starting today, South Carolina's largest businesses will be subject to random audits of their employment documents as part of a crackdown on hiring illegal immigrants. The S.C. Department of Labor, Licensing and Regulation will focus its attention on businesses that typically hire immigrant workers, said Jim Knight, a department spokesman. "For instance, you can be pretty sure construction and landscaping will be on that list for audits," Knight said. For now, the law, which was passed in 2008, applies to businesses with 100 or more employees and those that do business with state and local governments. |
