Thanks Oklahoma for sending illegals to Texas! We don't have enough. Can you please export some decent politicians instead?

Either the ILLEGALS went to Texas or maybe Wichita Ks.
Is Wichita on the list of Sanctuary Cities? If not it ought to be!

OK, I just answered my own question! IT IS! The list is large too. Looks like Tulsa had a change of heart also after the year of 2007"When you have knowledge,you have a responsibility to do better"_ Paula Johnson
