Oklahoma gets tough on illegal immigration

Last year, the Oklahoma Legislature passed a law that:

• Restricts illegal immigrants’ access to driver’s licenses and ID cards.

• Cuts off several forms of public assistance for illegal immigrants. Emergency medical care, disaster aid and certain immunizations are exempted.

• Makes it harder for illegal immigrants to pay in-state college tuition.

• Encourages state and local law enforcement to enforce federal immigration law.

• Makes it a felony to harbor, transport, conceal or shelter illegal immigrants.

• Requires state and local governments to use a federal database that allows them to check potential employees’ work eligibility.

• Starting this summer, private employers and government contractors will have to verify employment eligibility of all new hires. Employers who don’t could be sued.

This year, Oklahoma lawmakers are considering bills that would:

• Designate English as the state’s official language.

• Let law enforcement seize the property of those who transport, hire or rent to illegal immigrants.

• Make public schools report how many illegal-immigrant children are enrolled.

• Repeal last year’s law.

• Repeal all of last year’s law, except for its ban on most public benefits.
