I would like to see them going that way on a video before I believed it.

We are actually thinking about moving there.
A lot of organizations have challenged it, but it didn't do a bit of good. Mainly Catholic leaders and Hispanic leaders. Just look at the $$$ they were costing Oklahoma. Wasn't it over 8 billion just for illegals babies being born here, for one year? I didn't have medical insurance when I had my 3 children, but I paid cash. They sure wouldnt let me have a baby for free, but I'm an American citizen.

There are a lot of people moving here, mainly from California. So many people are moving into our community, we are wanting to move, somewhere still in OK., just less populated, with a little room to breathe.

Produce and poultry are more expensive than they have EVER been. I am tired of hearing how "cheap" things are because of illegal labor. Cheap alright, only for the unethical, un-American employers who hire non-citizens and line their own pockets with the profits, not for the tax-payers helping to subsidize them, or for the consumers.

I had no idea that we had the toughest legislation in the entire country. I'm curious as to whether or not any other states have similar laws.

Randy Terrill did say, at one time, how many states the state of Oklahoma has heard from, wanting to know about it. It was a very high number for such a short time of the law being enacted, but I don't remember what it was. (Sorry, age setting in here.) They are staying in touch, listening and learning. Thats why Americans need to let their voices be heard by their elected officials. Over and over, if thats what it takes. Ask your officials what their stance on illegal immigration is. If you don't like it, don't re-elect them. Don't ever give up. I know the users on this forum wont.

I definitely agree about making your voice heard by going to elected officials. Thanks for letting me know what Randy Terrill said. I definitely support strict legislation and was just wondering if other states were following suit.

The only reason those carpet fills are submersed in illegals is because Americans don't do hard physical labor for low wages. Americans are rarely seen doing hard physical labor 40 hours a week, it's simply the truth.

You are way off base with that statement of yours because it is, of course, not true at all. Americans have been and still do hard physical labor in this country. Please post only the truth and stop trying to spin the truth to be something it is not.

What kind of BS are you spinning. Lord I see hardworking Americans siding houses and working on roads and digging trenches and more everyday. Where do you live in a Box?
