Refugees sent to South Carolina will be registered and tracked, and their sponsors will be held liable for violent crimes if a bill that just passed the South Carolina Senate becomes law.

“We can make South Carolina out of the 50 states the most unwelcome state for refugees,” said State Senator Kevin Bryant (R-Anderson), according to the Associated Press.

The bill passed the Republican-controlled state Senate by a vote of 39-6 on Wednesday, with some Democrats supporting the measure after a requirement stipulating that no state money would be spent on refugees, including funds to educate their children, was removed.
:rolleyes:

Senator Bryant, the bill’s lead sponsor, said its purpose is to keep the state free from the kinds of attacks carried out this week in Belgium, and recently in Southern California and Paris.

The bill requires refugees who resettle in South Carolina to register with the Department of Social Services and be tracked by the State Law Enforcement Divisions. It also creates legal civil liability for organizations that sponsor a refugee who causes harm.

“We have de-incentivized the sponsoring of refugees in South Carolina,” Bryant told the South Carolina Post and Courier. “We are going to have very few refugees to South Carolina.”

Why doesn't SC just shut down all the mosques in the state? That would be the logical solution.

Very smart bill. We need to start targeting the groups that sponsor these "refugee" resettlement programs. Their business model is disgusting. They basically profit (via taxpayer grants no less) for ruining communities.

Interesting idea. ;) Perhaps that should have always been the official policy.

Agree, responsibility seems to be in short supply in this country.
