Thread: Success in Oklahoma; Disdain from The Columbus Dispatch

Success in Oklahoma; Disdain from The Columbus Dispatch
[Patrick Cleburne] @ 1:44 am

An appalled article in The Columbus Dispatch delivers some positive news for once: Oklahoma’s HB 1804, designed to impede the presence of illegal immigrants in the state, is working.

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:

Latino advocates, however, describe a subsequent climate of fear and racism that’s as palpable as the relentless wind that sweeps across this heartland state.

He eagerly seizes on unfashionable (if probably correct) thoughts to smear the supporters of HB 1804:

[quote]A woman said that immigrants are “having children, children and children. We Caucasians are not. Pretty soon, they’re going to outnumber us. That’s what they’re working on.â€

Some were swept up in unexpected consequences, hassled with more paperwork and longer lines to receive an identification card or bounced from state medical rolls.

Who cares about those bogus ID cards.
What counts is a valid SS#, and that you came here legally and are NOT illegal, or AMNESTY immigrants,
or anchor babies.

Oklahoma's Latino population has jumped nearly 45 percent since 2000 and is now about 7 percent of the 3.6 million residents. The Pew Hispanic Center estimated in 2006 that 75,000 were living illegally in the state.

That is proof of the rampart irresponsibility of these people and then we enable them by saying,
"Don't worry we will pay for everything.
Oh and stay home and we will feed you and your anchor babies too!

Latino advocates, however, describe a subsequent climate of fear and racism

I'd be afraid if I was in a country illegally too.
Just because we do not want illegals and all that costs Americans billions, doesn't mean we are racists!
WE do not have to sponsor you!!!!!
You have no stand so you say the 3 words, racist, bigot, and xenophobe.
GET OVER IT AND GET OUT!!!!
