Sanford praises plan as strong, enforceable
The third time may prove to be the charm on immigration legislation in the Senate and possibly for the Legislature.
With little debate, senators on Tuesday gave key approval to the third compromise plan on immigration to originate in the Senate this year, led by Senate President Pro Tempore Glenn McConnell.
If approved today by senators and concurred on by the House later this week, the legislation will be sent to Gov. Mark Sanford with days to spare before the end of the legislative session.
Sanford praised the bill as a good one in a statement after the vote.
