South Caroline has always been a hot-bed of rebellion, from the Tories who refused to rebel against the King of England, to the nullification crisis of 1830, to their choice to secede from the Union in 1860 following the election Abraham Lincoln.
Now, they are courted more controversy, but with the Latin American world.
Like Arizona and Alabama, South Carolina has empower its state peace officers to check the immigration status of any person during a traffic stop. Latin American countries, fearing for their own citizens, have joined the federal government's law-suit to stop the legislation.
The sheer hypocrisy of such a move is just grating, if not insulting.
These nations have made no effort to secure the rights, liberties, and economic opportunities of their own people, which has caused many of them to flee to the United States. Now they want to dictate to the several states of the United States of America how the regulate the entry and naturalization of immigrants into our their borders.
If the nations of Latin America really cared about their people, their citizens, they would institute necessary liberalizing reforms within their own borders, enticing those former inhabitants who have fled in search of greater opportunities to return.
South Carolina is doing just fine for itself, and there is no reason for them to step down from protecting the rights and liberties of her own people.
