Oklahoma is nippin it in the bud ....

OKLAHOMA CITY — Oklahoma doesn't have much of a problem with illegal immigration in the grand scheme of things.

The state's undocumented population is estimated at 75,000 or fewer, a drop in the bucket compared with the approximately 1.5 million living in neighboring Texas.

But Oklahoma, reacting to the rapid growth of that population and fears for the future, is about to pass one of the nation's broadest state laws restricting illegal immigrants. The bill aims to cut off jobs and benefits for illegal immigrants and permit state and local law enforcement to detain them solely for their presence in the United States.

And this ....

The Oklahoma legislature is also now considering the Oklahoma English Language Act [HB 1423 text, DOC], which would require all official business of the state to be conducted in English, with exceptions.

Wow !!

Maybe Oklahoma will be the Capital of our next great Republic after the Socialists destroy the rest of the country ?

I've always liked Texas , but , Oklahoma sounds good too , now !

I'm originally from Oklahoma. When I moved to Texas in 1990, there were fewer than 5000 illegals in Oklahoma. They just hadn't made it there, yet. They're all over the small towns and it seems the people of those towns are fed up with the whole idea of the outsiders. The biggest employer of illegals, by the way, is the Clintons family's old friends the Tysons, as they hire many illegals to work at their chicken plants. Hooray for Oklahoma's legislature.
