Thread: OK: Immigration crackdown called devastating

The telephone lines in Oklahoma City's Capitol Hill area were afire two weeks ago, as word spread that Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents had set up checkpoints on S Harvey and Robinson streets.


Neighbors called to warn each other. Children were corralled into homes. The streets, typically full of restaurant goers and shoppers, nearly were bare.

That raid netted about 65 arrests, sending waves of panic through the predominately Hispanic neighborhood. But that panic pales in comparison to the effect of plans currently underway in Washington.

On that Capitol Hill, the Department of Homeland Security has unveiled a 26-point initiative that, among other things, requires all employers to terminate workers who use fake Social Security numbers.

"We know that people in the Latino community are really scared. You can see it, walking on the streets. People are selling their houses. They are leaving,â€

Its not fair because the Illegal Aliens are trying to make a living at the American citizen's expense. They are here using public benefits with no right to be here in the first place, also at the taxpayers expense! The Latino community is nervous? Why is this comment always made when it is nothing but B.S. Legal Hispanic citizens are not nervous at all and are also against Illegal Aliens. These are the people who waited in line and who had family members serve and died in the military. Illegal Aliens are selliing their houses and going home. GOOD! I'm sure there are alot of LEGAL IMMIGRANTS that are in line for the jobs the ILLEGAL ALIENS occupy now! If Illegal Aliens bought property it should be confiscated and given to LEGAL Americans such as VETS and other people who so deserve help before ILLEGAL ALIENS! But the ILLEGAL ALIENS are right about one thing THEY ARE NOT WANTED HERE!

They aren't just going to another state; they are going back to their countries of origin

Hip Hip HURRAY! Good-bye Good ridance and don't let the door hit ya on the way out. Our economy will survive just as it did before you sneaked in! :P

The next thing to do woud be to repeal all the trade agreements that cause businesses to go overseas to produce products cheaper. Otherwise all the businesses that can will abondon production in the US.

And spending billions yearly on illegals is good for the economy?
