OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) -- A new study estimates that Oklahoma's anti-illegal immigration law will cause $1.8 billion in economic losses as foreign-born workers flee the state.

This is something that our friends here don't want to accept. Because they and all their family and friends will fill all those positons left open when all the illegals leave!

(Rep. Randy) Terrill (R-Moore) (author of HB1804) called the report "one of the best reports that money can buy to take shots at (the) House bill."
The biggest outcry comes from the employers of illegals who have gotten used to lining their own pockets from the cheap illegal labor and not having to pay the illegals any benefits while at the same time the taxpayers are subsidizing this cheap labor with social services, free hospital and ER care, overcrowding schools, incarceration, etc.
If a business can't stay in business without having to use cheap illegal labor, then they deserve to go out of business and make way for those businesses than can stay in business without having to use illegal labor.

Gee. One wonders what these employers of illegals did for labor before the illegal Mexican invasion?

I've been saying it all along, stop legal immigration we don't need any more degrees in this country, and get the red carpet out for the willing workers from down south, in the process let's try to send some welfare addicts down south from our trailer parks(win-win situation)

Here in the South/SouthWest that was a long time ago. Let's see just how addicted to illegal labor America has been, my guess is that this will be a long costly rehab for those tough on immigrants in this region.
Don't forget the legal immigrants that will leave a state like this too, why would anyone from SOB want to stay in a state like this?
My employer is having trouble filling jobs that pay 10 to 17 per hour.
Guess there were more illegals than anyone thought.
I have read that report and consider it flawed in several areas.
It has been noticed and generally approved bythe population.
Dont sweat it,

That is odd; although many people here in Arizona would gladly work for $15-17 an hour.
Wages in many skilled trades have diminished vis a vis inflation------yet, the income for the so-called 'Yuppies' has outstripped the above.
As I have opined on in the past: about 75% of the Yuppie careers could disappear and I doubt that most regular Americans would even notice.
Employers need to hire Americans and give them a decent wage. They will work. They always have. Illegals won't be missed.
