Unemployment plummets after crackdown on illegals
Lawmaker: Oklahoma no longer 'OK' for undocumented aliens

© 2008 WorldNetDaily Unemployment rates are rising across the United States, except Oklahoma. That state is experiencing the most dramatic reduction in unemployment since 2007, an improvement many in Oklahoma attribute to the passage last year by the state legislature of a strong employment-focused immigration reform law.The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics on Friday reported unemployment in Oklahoma had fallen to 3.1 percent in March, down from 4 percent in March last year, while unemployment nationwide was 5.1 percent, up from 4.4 percent in March last year."Oklahoma is no longer 'OK' for illegal aliens," said State Rep. Randy Terrill, who sponsored House Bill 1804 which passed by overwhelming majorities last year in both the House (84-14) and Senate (41-6) of the Oklahoma Legislature."The bottom line is illegal aliens will not come here if there are no jobs waiting for them," Terrill said. "They will not stay here if there is no government subsidy, and they certainly won't stay here if they know that if they ever encounter our state and local law enforcement officers, they will be physically detained until they are deported."House Bill 1804, the Oklahoma Taxpayer and Citizen Protection Act of 2007, has been characterized by USA Today as "arguably the nation's toughest state law targeting illegal immigration."The Oklahoma law imposes strict penalties on employers who knowingly hire illegal aliens, makes it a felony to transport or shelter illegal immigrants, forbids the state to issue drivers licenses or pay social welfare benefits to illegal aliens or their families, and empowers state and local police to enforce federal immigration laws.Last month, the Oklahoma Bankers Association threatened Oklahoma would lose about $1.8 billion annually in productivity and wages, largely because House Bill 1804, which went into effect in November last year, will force an estimated 50,000 illegal immigrants to leave the state.The group based the conclusions on a study done by economists Russell Evans and Kyle Dean of the Oklahoma-based Economic Impact Group that estimated as many as 70,000 illegal immigrants were living in Oklahoma when the legislation was passed. Proponents of the law would counter that forcing illegal aliens to leave Oklahoma was precisely the intended effect of the bill."The next question to ask would be whether citizens have taken jobs that illegals used to do," observed blogger Tom Blumer. "Though the lower unemployment rate doesn't in and of itself prove that, it does point strongly in that direction." "Will anyone in Old Media dig more deeply into the Sooner State's situation?" Blumer wondered. "Or will they try to pretend that Oklahoma's improvement doesn't exist, because finding out why might expose some inconvenient truths, and hurt the cause of illegal-immigrant 'amnesty.'"

I would like to see Lou Dobbs or Glenn Beck report on this.  One thing for sure is that MSM will not do so.  There is not a doubt in my mind that Ok. new law is the reason for the decline in unemployment.

...The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics on Friday reported unemployment in Oklahoma had fallen to 3.1 percent in March, down from 4 percent in March last year, while unemployment nationwide was 5.1 percent, up from 4.4 percent in March last year. ... 

p.hunt,

That was a really great post.  It is the predictable outcome of enforcement on employers.

It is amazing that many don't focus on this aspect of the problem, including many who post on this site.  Many want to concentrate on deporting illegal aliens.  Such a prioritization is so really stupid that you have to wonder whether it is not coming from those pretending to be "dumb like foxes".  Do they want to steer the discussion away from the solution that is already written into law?  Those of us who know the correct way to address this problem are virtually saturated with those that continue to scream, "deport them all, fill up the buses, neighborhood roundups, national guard troops on every street corner, etc., etc."  What is really disappointing is the appearance of such a low level of intelligence among those who discuss this problem.

Or is it just the "dumb like a fox" routine?  Are arguments against enforcement on employers, and focusing on apprehensions on those illegally working here being put forward by those who really do understand that they benefit by arguing in favor of policies that they know won't work?  A thorough background check on all making such arguments would undoubtedly answer that question.  It would certainly separate those who are simply mislead from those that are criminally devious.



We don't need new "comprehensive" immigration laws. We need widespread, well funded enforcement of existing immigration law, i. e. IRCA 1986. http://www.oig.lsc.gov/legis/irca86.htm ANYTHING ELSE IS JUST A BIG CHARADE! Remember the Alamo AND Agents Compean, Ramos, Brugman, Sipe, Rhodes, Deputy Sheriff Hernandez, K-9 Officer Mohr & Noe Aleman. ***Redress it all by repealing the 17th Amendment to the U. S. Constitution: http://www.articlev.com/repeal_the_17...

I've been saying enforce our current immigration laws for a long time... If they did then we would have many less illegals in this country within a very short period of time.  Give them nothing!  Our jobs would come back to the people that they belong to.  This is just proof of that.  This is information that  should be out there for everyone to see.  The media doesn't want it to get out there.

In other words, many media outlets are what we could classify as "criminally devious".

What is so laughable about this situation is mexican illegals are returning to mexico and the cities receiving them are whining and moaning they are unable to handle the needs of so many mexicans wanting the same free services given to them in the States.

 It appears these illiterate, low life, criminals are now sucking the life out of their own cities due to strict legislation like Oklahoma's.

The next move should be no automatic citizenship for anchor children unless they have at least one parent that is an American citizen. This would reduce the load on our public schools and we would have smaller classes and better education. The illegal immigrant is forcing some counties, like lake county in Florida, to build large elementary schools because of the birth of so many children per family.

Illegal immigrants are being hired by sanctuary states like new york and companies like OSMOSE and then sent to other non sanctuary states to work with invalid identification.

These companies are trying any type of trick to enhance their bottom line. We need to let them know we are on to them.

 

 

BUILD THE DAMN FENCE NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How about finding who their top brass are, and creating a cartoon that shows them being hanged in effigy with their names prominently displayed on a sign hung around their necks.

bull,  Everybody needs to contact their representatives and pressure them to support HJ Res. 46.  This calls for an end to "anchor babies."  Get on the phones.
