Thread: OK: Moment of silence planned: ........What a joke.....

In the final hours of October, the fight to block House Bill 1804 rages on.

On Wednesday, the National Coalition of Latino Clergy and Christian Leaders will meet with U.S. District Judge James Payne to argue for a temporary injunction against HB 1804, largely considered one of the toughest immigration enforcement bills in the nation.



If they are unable to stop it, they have planned a silent protest for Thursday — the day the bulk of the bill would go into effect. Immediately after it goes into effect, the national coalition plans to request sanctuary status for Hispanic churches and homes, to stop what they perceive has been a legislative assault against their community.

The group has also asked for support from the White House. They want a moratorium on raids, arrests and deportation until “Congress assumes responsibility for immigration,â€

Sure are asking a lot of people to meddle in the legislative process of the State of Oklahoma. The White House can't do diddely.

Separation of Church and State and Judge James Payne shouldn't entertain them based on the Constitution and judicial ethics.

Well it should be noted that the threat of the law going in affect has put the illegal population in hiding or self removal. I have gone to the swap meets or some call them at least here flea markets and there is a large reduction in the number of Hispanics. I also went by a place called Plaza Latina and they had an indoor swap meet and it is closed. So things are going well here. And the traffic and accidents seem to be down, but you wont be hearing that from our liberal Tulsaworld newspaper.
