Thread: OK: Where have all the immigrants gone? {sob}

Sorry to tell ya but I live just north of Tulsa in Owasso and the mess has been picked up and guess by who? Well it was those lazy white and black boys. And I was proud to pay them teenage boys that just wanted a chance to work. so FU to all of those naysayers. The teens are now working in all of the resturants and stores and I now feel proud.

Construction companies that relied on undocumented laborers are having trouble completing jobs.


The key word here is "rely" and just where does the fault lie? It's the fault of these companies for breaking the law and putting Americans out of work in the process.

You reap what you sow.




Alfonso said he has seen his congregation of 425 shrink by more than 15 percent, an exodus fueled by stories of illegal immigrants caught in the crackdown. One man was arrested by police as he changed a tire, Alfonso said, while a woman was seized at a mall when her toddler bolted away and she sought the help of security guards to find him.




Can they prove any of this? Until then, stories like this are just that....stories. And of the Urban Legend variety to boot.





Not far from the church, Emilio Gutierrez, manager of Tacos San Pedro, is feeling the strain as well.
"If you had come here at lunchtime just a few months ago, every table would have been full," Gutierrez said as he sat in his nearly empty restaurant on a recent weekday. "We laid off half our employees. If this continues, we will probably have to close."



Funny how no one was concerned about American businesses which had to close. Or American workers losing their jobs. Oh heck no, it was all about the illegals and those who catered to them. It still is all about them judging from this article.

A better way of putting it is ..the illegals would have cleaned them up for slave wages .. now we are going to have to pay a legal worker upwards of $12 to $15 an hour....boo hoo ...how will we continue to make 500% profits when we have to pay a fair wage for a job being done...Boo Hoo!

My nephew and his buddies made thousands of dollars in December cleaning up debris. That money won't be sent to Mexico or some other third world hell hole. It was put back into the local economy.

Able-bodied American who are on welfare should be told to accept the jobs the illegals had done, but they must be paid a living wage.

"You really have to work hard at it to destroy our state's economy, but we found a way," said state Sen. Harry Coates, the only Republican member of the state Legislature to vote against the immigration law. "We ran off the workforce."

Sour grapes anyone? Harry "Turn" Coates is a traitor and a liar. He and his buddies easily replaced the illegals without even placing hardly any classified ads. They just don't want to pay a decent wage. Also, Governor Brad Henry recently gave his "State of the State" address and mentioned that Oklahoma's economy is firing on all cylinders. 2008 is going to be a good year for the state. How do you like them apples Harry "Turn" Coates?

"These people are not criminals."

Yes, they are. And anyone who even gives them a ride to work is a criminal too.

"It is very difficult to conceal the animosity and racial intolerance of people who think that immigration is the worst thing that could happen to the United States."

Oklahomans don't mind legal immigration, but we are fed up with illegal immigration. Miguel Rivera makes Al Sharpton seem like a decent and honest guy.

But critics of Oklahoma's law counter that such calculations understate the positive economic effects of the undocumented workers' consumer spending.

Yeah, all that consumer spending back in Mexico doesn't do Oklahoma much good. Some of our schools were at their breaking points because these criminals don't pay any property taxes and expect us to educate their children for free.

And they argue that illegal workers fulfill a need: There are not enough willing U.S. citizens to fill the low-skilled farm and construction jobs that keep the state's economy growing.

1) Then why aren't the classifieds filled with ads for construction jobs? Oh yeah, blue collar Oklahomans who migrated to gulf states hit by Katrina were finally able to find decent paying jobs back home.

2) These parasites weren't just taking farming and construction jobs. They were taking the best blue collar job you can find in Oklahoma, which is being a roughneck in the oil and natural gas fields.
