Oklahoma's Crackdown on Illegals

My friend Bonnie contributed this; being a native Okie, I can only say I'm PROUD of my home state for having some gumption. Pioneers made Oklahoma; they're making it stronger still!

Well, it passed! Oklahoma is no longer OK for Illegal Aliens........ It
seems that at least one state has decided to take matters into it's own
hands, since the Federal Government keeps dragging it's feet on this Illegal
alien stuff and even reversing popular opinion on how to handle it. BRAVO
OKLAHOMA ! (Too bad all politicians don't have the 'guts' to do this)

Every State needs to do this!!!!

Oklahoma 's Governor Brad Henry has signed a sweeping immigration Reform
bill: House Bill 1804, that its sponsor believes will go a long way in dealing with the illegal alien problem in the
state.

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
illegal; 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
tax payers 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 billion a year in public benefits, law enforcement costs,
and other resources.

half times that of white non-illegal aliens. In particular, their children,
are going to make a huge additional crime problem in the United States

During the year of 2005 there were 4 to 10 MILLION illegal aliens that
crossed our Southern Border also, as many as 19,500 illegal aliens from
Terrorist Countries. Millions of pounds of drugs, cocaine, meth, heroine and
marijuana, crossed into the U. S. from the Southern border. Homeland

The National Policy Institute "estimated that the total cost of mass
deportation would be between $206 and $230 billion or an average cost of
between $41 and $46 billion annually over a five year period."

In 2006 illegal aliens sent home $45 BILLION in remittances back to their
countries of origin. http://www.rense.com/general75/niht.htm

So if deporting them costs between $206 and $230 BILLION DOLLARS, Start getting rid of em.' We'll be ahead after the 1st year!!!
