Tulsa - Tens of thousands of Hispanics have left the Tulsa area. And, a law designed to crack down on illegal immigration hasn't even taken effect yet. But, there's a catch.
East Tulsa is where the majority of Hispanics ended up settling. They came by the thousands and now they're leaving that way, too. And, it's all because of one word -- deportation.
Business owner Simon Navarro came to America for a better life. And, he found one on Tulsa's east side.
"I have 11 years here in Tulsa," he says.
NewsChannel 8 - Hispanics Moving Out Of Oklahoma Before New Law Takes Effect (http://www.ktul.com/news/stories/0807/449699.html - broken link)
Most illegal immigrants are ending up in either Kansas or Arkansas. But, that may not be for long. Arkansas is about to adopt a law like Oklahoma's. Kansas is considering the same thing.
I hope Kansas gets off their butts and adopts the same law OK has, or we are going to get stuck with the OK illegal aliens.
And we are supposed to care about them leaving why? Not even. The best thing to happen for OK is what I say. oo bad that New Mexico is a sactuary state for them.
Anyone familiar with the culture of the San Joaquin Valley will certainly tell you that Hispanics aren't the first group from Oklahoma to "pack up and hit the road" when the going gets tough....in the 1930's the "Okies" left the "old country" in droves, and the reverberations are still felt here in "the promised land" ---what is it about Oklahoma, that folks just can't seem to stick around for very long?....
Sheeesh Mac, why is it that you love the illegals so much? It is actually quite different here since it happens to be illegals that are leaving and not American citizens that can't make it because of the weather. Would you mind not using ridiculous analgies because they make whatever you say to look quite dumb?
Really not sure since you seem to care more about the illegals than Amnericans.
