What do you think of this?? Seems like almost every town or state is doing the SAME!?

Subject: Oklahoma is no longer "O.K." for illegal aliens- HB 1804 House Bill 1804 was passed by overwhelming majorities in both the House and Senate of the Oklahoma Legislature. The measure's sponsor, State Representative Randy Terrill, says the bill has four main topical areas: it deals with identity theft; it terminates public assistance benefits to illegals; it empowers state and local police to enforce federal immigration laws; and it punishes employers who knowingly hire illegal aliens. Oklahoma is no longer "O.K." for illegal aliens, Terrill observes. "When you put everything together in context," he contends, "the bottom line is illegal aliens will not come here if there are no jobs waiting for them, they will not stay here if there is no government subsidy, and they certainly won't stay here if they know that if they ever encounter our state and local law enforcement officers, they will be physically detained until they're deported. And that's exactly what House Bill 1804 does." The Oklahoma legislator is pleased the bill he sponsored into law was signed by Governor Henry and believes it will go a long way to curb the illegal immigration problem in the state. "I would remind people that states are separate sovereigns in our federal system," Terrill points out. "Anyone who doesn't understand that needs to go back and take an American federal government class in college," he says. As a result of that sovereignty, the Oklahoma lawmaker insists, "we have as much right -- in fact, I would argue, a responsibility -- to protect our taxpayers against that sort of egregious waste, fraud and abuse as the federal government should have a responsibility to protect that international border, but doesn't do that." Terrill says as long as the federal government refuses to do its job of protecting the international borders of the United States , states like Oklahoma must take action to deal with the problem that is costing taxpayers in the state $200 million a year in public benefits, law enforcement costs, and other resources "dante" i do NOT believe we should make any exceptions when it comes to DEPORTING these criminals! They have ALL broken more than one law, and deserve NO special consideration! If someone robbed a bank 30 years ago, (because he was out of work and had 6 kids to feed,) yet never committed another crime in all the years since, and never got caught or paid for his crimes,does that make it alright because he had committed the crime 30 years ago, but never did anything else illegal?? I think NOT!

1. I think it is LONG overdue!
2. The problem has never been the laws. The problem is we do not enforce the ones already on the books.
3. It looks like we are going to get rid of illegals one state at a time. Which I'm totally cool with. Makes ya wonder why we even need senators in DC?
4. I think that it is absolute travesty that it has gone this far! It should have been took care of along time ago!
5. I generally like the idea. I however, would like a path to citizenship for some of the hardworking people. We allowed them to be here for years without enforcement and to shove them out now seems unfair. I don't think there are any easy solutions, but we can not keep encouraging illegal activity. If more states took this action, the Federal government might just do the job of protecting our borders and making reasonable paths to citizenship for those hardworking people who want to share in the American dream.
6. 49 more states to go, then one BIG wall to build. I am not against immigration, just do it LEGALLY. I do NOT discriminate against a race, but I DO discriminate against criminals. To illegals: This is not your country, this is not "Aztlan", etc. If you want to live here, follow the laws, contribute to society, LEARN THE LANGUAGE.
7. Yep, once one state or town starts violating federal law, everyone else jumps on the bandwagon. It's amazing how people who are so opposed to immigrants violating federal immigration laws are somehow completely fine with cities and states violating federal immigration laws. Federal immigration laws prohibit states or local govt from enforcing immigration regulations or enacting laws based on immigration status. So every state that does so is violating federal laws. I've never understood this kind of rampant hypocrisy that says it's ok to violate the law if someone else is violating the law.
8. it is just the tip of the iceberg, all towns are going to enact such laws in the near future as each day you seem to hear about new laws that are geared to this problem, we shall take back the country one state at a time, the feds can not be trusted to enforce existing laws as they have shown a disregard for the taxpayers of the United States and have shown time and time again that they do not care what the people want, we want the fence and tougher stances taken by the feds to enforce existing laws we gave amensty once in 1986 and that was for 5 million and we did not enforce any of the laws that came from that now we have a 4 time larger problem it is time to wage an unrelenting war to secure our country
9. Oh, they can pass it...but the Federal case facing Farmers Branch, TX is still undecided. They should wait for a final ruling, unless they want to "take a stand" and enact the measure. Such legislation is going to wind up in the Supreme Court, you know.
10. At least someone is trying to do something
11. This is a great bill passed by Oklahoma. Should be adopted by the other 49. Az just passed a good one too, just not as good as OK.
12. Hooray for OK!!!
