There are those in South Carolina who wish to strengthen existing immigration laws, allowing officers to check the immigration status of individuals who are pulled over during routine traffic stops. Ford responded to the call for a new law by saying that the state needs illegal immigrants because black and white people don't work as hard as immigrants do.
"We need these workers here. A lot of people aren't going to do certain type of work in this country," said Ford, D-Charleston. "The brothers are going to find ways to take a break. Ever since this country was built, we've had somebody do the work for us."
