Love this guy who wrote in the comments section:

Yeah, local LEOs just might not want to be bothered with such a thing as upholding the law. No room? Take some lessons from Sheriff Joe Arpaio (Arizona) and his "tent city." He's got barbed wire fences surrounding tents housing 2000 prisoners and can expand for more. The compound is patrolled 24/7 by armed guards. Good job, Joe. We need more like him.


And this is the article.
OKLAHOMA CITY -- State law enforcement agencies say limited resources may prevent them from enforcing a new state law that targets illegal aliens.

"As far as I'm concerned, it's going to be business as usual," said Scott Jay, Beckham County sheriff. "I don't see where it's going to have any impact at all on local law enforcement."

The law requires local law enforcement officers to check the immigration status of anyone arrested for a felony or a DUI in a federal database known as the Status Verification System. Undocumented immigrants who are arrested for a crime must be jailed without bail and reported to federal agents.

"I'm already getting calls from citizens saying so-and-so is illegal and so-and-so is illegal," Jay said. "I think there is a misconception by a lot of citizens who think we are now going to go out, round up all the illegal immigrants and shoot them back down to Mexico. That's just not going to happen.

"We don't have the time, the facilities or the manpower."

In fiscal year 2007, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement deported 7,400 illegal immigrants from its Dallas-area district, which includes Oklahoma. Of those deported, agency spokesman Carl Rusnok said 4,950 had been convicted of a crime.

"We already work very closely with local law enforcement agencies in Oklahoma," Rusnok said. "Will we get more calls for deportation because of this new law? Who knows? If so, we'll accommodate as we can...

"But, as always, we will prioritize our resources."

Roger Mills County Sheriff Joe Hay already thinks the new law creates a great dilemma for him.

"I've got a 28-bed jail with 22 prisoners already in there," Hay said. "Now I'm sworn to uphold the law, but where am I supposed to put them?"

In Enid, officers won't add immigration enforcement to their list of duties, said Capt. Dean Grassino.

"We're not rounding people up," Grassino said. "We'll cooperate. If they do an immigration enforcement action, we'll assist. But we're not going to send officers out to businesses to check workers' papers and stuff. That's stuff we're not going to do."


Everyone should be calling and emailing and get a new person in charge ,
