Meanwhile, in South Carolina, a new bill that would require state police to track refugees is headed to the Senate floor, after a Senate committee approved the measure Wednesday. If passed, the bill could mean refugees’ home addresses would be placed on an Internet registry, similar to the ones used for registered sex offenders. Democratic state Senator Kevin Johnson, who is African-American, compared the bill to the treatment his ancestors received under Jim Crow, saying, “They were told the same thing: 'We don't want you in our state. We don’t want you in our neighborhood. We don’t want you in our schools.’”
