GOP senator wants parts of law repealed


OKLAHOMA CITY — A Republican state senator called Tuesday for repeal of sections of House Bill 1804, a sweeping immigration reform effort.

Provisions of the new law “essentially throw farmers and business owners under the bus,â€

American's are willing to work if the pay is right. I picked cotton as a kid for .10 cents a pound and have washed dishes to make money and picked weeds and mowed lawns and washed windows. Each job teachs you something and you learn just what kind of wok you would like doing for the rest of your life. That is why people should be put out of office after two terms; it is not a lifetime JOB.

Good politics IS good policy, and the sooner these lawlessness-encouraging losers figure that out, the better for America!!

I have worked at McDonald's, busting my butt for minimum wage. My first tax prep job, I worked very hard, learned all the rules, followed the tax code, and was treated like dirt by the long-term employees. I worked for a DSL company doing tech support for barely $8/hour. I was an employee at a convenience store, not getting home to my one-year-old daughter until midnight most nights, just to pay the bills.

Americans can and will do all the jobs currently being done by illegal alien criminals. Imagine how many homeless people would be willing to work the ag jobs to be able to afford housing!! Not only would we be opening up work for legal Americans down on their luck, but would also be providing a means for welfare recipients to get on their OWN feet, paying their own rent, and buying their own food.

(PS IMHO, welfare should be reserved for the truly worst of cases, such as foster children who age out, widows/widowers who are suddenly single parents, etc and strict time limits should be placed on those.)

What we truly need is Comprehensive Politics Reform!
