Estimates indicate that up to 25,000 Latinos have fled Tulsa County, and an unknown number have left the state since Democratic Gov. Brad Henry signed one of the nation’s toughest immigration laws in May 2007. (Mississippi enacted a similar law in July.)

(Our Allan Wall, who is from Oklahoma, reported as early as March that a 100,000 illegals had left.)

Ohio is apparently considering a similar law, and the hostile journalist leaves no tear duct unmoblilized:
