COLUMBIA Gov. Nikki Haley said today that two dozen of South Carolina's illegal immigration enforcement agents were blocked by the Obama administration from enforcing the state's law.
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security, part of President Barack Obama's Cabinet, told the state it could not use E-Verify documentation to enforce South Carolina's immigration law. But Thursday's U.S. Supreme Court ruling on a similar law in Arizona upheld a state's right to rely the online system that uses Social Security numbers to screens new workers to see if they are legally in the country.
Haley said Obama is getting in her way of governing the state and protecting the citizens and businesses that call South Carolina home.
"South Carolina has had to fight this administration on multiple issues," she said. "We are fighting them on health care. We are fighting them on being able to create jobs. It is absolutely ludicrous that we are now fighting the fact that we can't even enforce our own illegal immigration laws."

It was on the news this morning. Apparently we (SC) can't even get minimal cooperation from Obama et. al. to enforce a pre-Arizona immigration enforcement law.
Haley 2020!
The “Get out the illegal vote” machine is at full speed.

Not a shock, he needs those illegals to go vote for him in 2012..he knows that’s the ONLY way he has any chance of winning..his internal polls must be in the toilet..so he needs all of the illegal aliens, farm animals, whatever he could find to vote for his sorry ass

They need to run obamas social security number through the system.
This should’ve been in news, not chat. If it was in news, South Carolina could’ve been picked as a Topic and the story would show up in the state sidebar for SC freepers.
Federal agents obstructing justice. Why don’t they just start arresting them? At least put out warrants for their arrest.
Well, I’ll be sure to remember that.
The Kenyan thinks he is a dictator and the Supreme Court and Congress are letting him get away with it.
There should be a Congressional uprising the likes of which has never before been seen.
Obama is making his own laws and violating hos sworn oath to uphold them. An impeachable offense.
Maybe we can get a nobama car waiver for the entire state :-)

Too much of the judicial system, congress, the senate, both political parties and media are all in bed together while we, the people, find the Tea Party a necessity given the aforementioned entitles have no respect for the US Constitution, the Bill of Rights and defending our nation from the socialist agenda embraced by democrats that is currently eroding our rights therein and the financial stability of our nation.
The November 2012 election will be a profound awakening of citizens who've been ignored, disregarded and looked upon by the elite and ruling class as obstacles to their global agenda. The populace has had quite enough!
Why are the states allowing Obama and the feds to do this?
Damn!! I hope so. If we don’t take back this country we will have nothing to take back.
I need a new car, but I don’t want an obama car even if it has a fancy waiver ;^)
Sheriffs need to remove the Feds from their counties. They can, but will they?
If our ignorant and complicit politicians had half a clue, they'd understand just how emotionally invested in the protection of this nation the majority of us are! As long as they are primarily vested in kickbacks, lobbyism, donors, "the good of their party," and appeasing activist groups, our trust in them will remain at gutter level.
