Update III (5/10): Oklahoma’s new law is working already. As I said before, it can and should serve as a model law for other states.
Also see OutragedPatriots.com, hosted by two retired Oklahoma state troopers.
They write: “We remember what it was like when people could work and make a decent living without the devastation of uninsured, unlicensed, illegal aliens competing against them. We’ve seen good people with successful businesses suffer the past few years as their earnings progressively decreased due to poverty-level bids from illegal aliens driving down the industry standard wage for their respective trades.
“We remember the days when we arrested illegal aliens and the federal government did its job by quickly dispatching Immigration Enforcement Agents who promptly deported the criminals back to their home countries.
“We remember the days when more than 2 out of 3 motor vehicles on the roads in Oklahoma were insured and driven by licensed drivers.
“We also remember a time when both, Democrats and Republicans, would do their jobs in Washington when it came to protecting our borders and our culture.”
Update II: Read the law. Learn the law. Obey the law.
Speaking of which, if local law enforcement had the authority to question stopped motorists or criminal suspects about the status of their citizenship, three of the Muslim idiots who plotted to blow up Fort Dix may have been deported, or at least reported. Instead, the three illegal aliens, who entered this country through the southern border, the same one Central American criminals consider a joke, were free to roam and plot while laughing at America’s suicidal stupidity.
Update: In last week’s “immigration” rant, I mentioned that blacks and hispanics (who are just as race conscious as blacks) soon will be fighting over political seats.
With diminishing political clout, blacks are in a perilous position. Check out this fight in California.
If that amnesty-for-illegal-aliens bill passes, millions of hispanics will be on the citizenship track, i.e., eligible to vote. Wait till that happens. Two “minority” groups that both feel entitled are fighting for limited political power and preferred status. It’s gonna get ugly. Celebrate diversity, anyone?
Here’s the crux of the matter: “[T]here is an undercurrent of tension between both ethnic groups at the local level that comes down to one basic point: Blacks led the civil rights struggles that are now benefiting the faster-growing Latino population.”
Yep. And it’s only the beginning, and there isn’t much blacks can do about it. As “Latinos” increase in number and influence, be prepared to kiss all those white-guilt perks goodbye.
Solution? Support enforcement of immigration law and oppose any “reform” that will reward law breakers. That’s a start.

Oklahoma governor Brad Henry, the man I called a pantywaist politico, finally signed the “controversial” anti-illegal alien bill into law.
I don’t take back the pantywaist comment, though. The fact that Henry was reluctant to sign a bill that would protect his own citizens — the people who put him in office — means his heart isn’t really in the fight to curb illegal “immigration.” Political pressure pushed him to sign it, and that’s a darn shame.
Still, the new law is good for legal residents and citizens of Oklahoma. Let’s hope the state bill serves as a model for other states as they struggle to deal with the spoiled fruits of the federal government’s criminal neglect.
Highlights from the Oklahoma Taxpayer and Citizen Protection Act of 2007:
- Penalties for businesses that “knowingly” hire illegal aliens to gain a “competitive advantage.” Why does it matter why they hire illegal aliens? That they hire them should be enough, but…whatever.
- State agencies will be required to use the Basic Pilot program beginning November 1, 2007; private companies on July 1, 2008.
- Only citizens and legal aliens can get driver’s licenses, ID cards, and welfare.
Lowlight:
- Illegal aliens still receive in-state tuition. There are a bunch of conditions, but as far as I’m concerned, they’re meaningless.
All in all, it’s a good bill, one that should be modeled by every state in the Union. Nothing will ever stop people with or without the proper papers from trying to get into this great country, but we can at least allievate some of the hardship endured by law-abiding residents and citizens.
What is your state or town doing, if anything, to curb illegal “immigration”?
