OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — Some south Oklahoma City businesses with a connection to the Hispanic community have seen a drop in profits since a sweeping anti-illegal immigration law took effect.

Grider Food Stores, which is a major distributor of Hispanic foods, had a reported sales decline of more than $500,000 during the last three months. Business at Carniceria El Torito, a meat purveyor, has been off about 30 percent since House Bill 1804 took effect on Nov. 1.

“It’s been real low for three months now, and it’s getting worse,â€

This is some wonderful news coming out of OK.



There will be a "period of adjustment" but like economics, things will balance themselves out.

Lucky OK - they're reclaiming their STATE!!!!

Hate to be mean but I have no sympathy for them. They open businesses to cater to just hispanics to where anyone else isn't wanted.........so that's what you get. I know they have a nice support in their communities.....but it's just for them, so I'm not wasting 15 seconds feeling bad for them.

So move your business to Mexico and cater to them down there! quite simple really.

I, personally, do not believe it is a good thing for the overall society to allow nor facilitate the promotion or even 'gambling' by private companies/interest on demographic shifts. Sure, there are differences and they should be allowed to exist. They should not be encouraged or used to treat people differently. That promotes division and lack of cohesiveness.
