Oklahoma has passed a State Law that mandates stiffer measures against illegal aliens, meaning seeking and deporting. A Hispanic businessman estimates that 25,000 Mexicans have fled Tulsa, OK alone.
Pro-Latino groups decry the new Law as fostering racial hate. Anti-illegal alien groups disagree, the Law targets people who break the Law regardless of race, religion or creed.
In the WorldNetDaily article where I read this information you can sense the Leftist victimization guilt trip that restaurants and menial jobs will be affected thus hurting the economy of Tulsa.
There is a hint that the Oklahoma Law will be taken to the Judicial System because of claims it oversteps Federal authority, i.e. the (ineffective lame Federal) Federal Law is easier on illegal aliens. What!? It is against the Federal Law for illegal aliens to be in America, just because a State proceeds with stiffer guidelines to enforce the Federal Law does not the State Law is overstepping its boundaries.
As for the economy taking a hit because of an exodus of Mexicans: Is the implication that breaking the law aids economy? Is it the implication that illegal immigrants receiving the privileges of a free public education and government entitlements are an aid to the economy and tax payers of Oklahoma or America for that matter?
Now I am fully aware that the majority of illegal alien Mexicans are hard working people trying to improve their quality of life or the quality of life of family back in Mexico with American money; however with the immigration of honest hard working illegal aliens is also a conduit to illicit felonious drug and gang businesses. That definitely does not help the economy of Oklahoma or America.
I offer no solutions for there are not any easy solutions which are beneficial to the hard working the Mexicans and the American citizens. Mass deportation is not an answer nor is mass amnesty. The former is to expensive enmasse and the latter will permit the criminals to stay in America along with the hard working Mexicans.
In the process of finding a solution it should not be the American citizens that take the hit in taxes or becoming the potential victims of drugs, career criminals or gangs. If a hit should be taken it should err toward the ones already breaking the law, not the law abiding.
