SUMMERVILLE -- Town Council passed an illegal immigration hiring law tonight, after two months of debate and controversy.
The ordinance requires employers to verify the citizenship or immigration status of workers. Penalties include fines and the loss of a business license. Both the state and Dorchester County have similar laws.
No business has been penalized by losing its license so far under the three-year-old county law.
The vote was 5-1 with Councilman Aaron Brown opposed.
Only one resident in the audience spoke on the issue. Kendra Linkowski said she was alarmed by the threat of drugs, violence and the disruption of the job economy by an invasion of Mexicans.
"Exempting independent contractors (from the verification process) would make Summerville a sanctuary community" for illegal immigrants, she said.
But council members said the law mirrors state law and does not exempt illegal contractors.
Council members have been divided on whether the law is needed or the town's job. Immigration is the province of federal law. Some council members say the town needs to take a stand that federal authorities won't.
Brown, who represents the historically black Brownsville community, said the law was almost a civil rights issue, singling out another group of people to be discriminated. A town law is not not needed, would discourage businesses and disrupt neighborhoods.
"I think we should leave this to the federal government," he said.
Denying illegal immigrants jobs or housing, and penalizing people who provide them, has become a hot political issue nationwide, creating a rift between voters more concerned about homeland security or human rights.
The issue gained momentum after immigration reform failed in Congress, and a recent Arizona law was put on hold. That law would have required police to check the status of everyone they stop.
The Summerville ordinance originally had a requirement for landlords to verify status, too. But that was tabled in September because of lawsuit concerns.

"There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag, and this excludes the red flag, which symbolizes all wars against liberty and civilization, just as much as it excludes any foreign flag of a nation to which we are hostile...We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language...and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people." --Theodore Roosevelt
"This nation is in danger of becoming a Third World nightmare with all the corruption, disease, illiteracy, violence and balkanization known all over the world. We need a 10-year moratorium on all immigration to catch our collective breath and we need deportation of over 10 million illegal aliens in a slow and orderly fashion." --Ed Garrison
“The 1987 amnesty was a failure; rather than reducing illegal immigration, it led to an increase,” FAIR stated. “Any new amnesty measure will further weaken respect for our immigration laws. Therefore, all amnesty measures must be defeated.” --Frosty Wooldridge
