"Immigration audits concern businesses"

Nexsen Pruet attorney David Dubberly is interviewed for a Charleston Regional Business Journal article entitled "Immigration audits concern businesses."

Ashley Fletcher Frampton's reports that "investigators visited 76 companies last month" as they began to check compliance with the South Carolina Illegal Immigration Reform Act. Although the random audits have resulted in no violations, there is concern that the Department of Labor Licensing and Regulation may be going to far.
