As such, yes, it would appear that a few states are actually beginning to “see the light” in terms of common thought, rationality, common sense, an acknowledgement of reality, a respect for the basic nature of our laws, and respect for taxpayers.
Thousands of Hispanics have fled the Tulsa, Okla., area in the shadow of a looming state law that limits benefits and mandates deportation for illegal aliens, according to a report from KTUL television in Tulsa.
The state of Oklahoma recently approved a new law that requires deportation for illegal aliens who are arrested, and limits benefits and jobs to those individuals. The report said in East Tulsa, where a community of Hispanics has grown over recent years, there’s been a sudden drop in population.
Officials say many of those departing apparently are heading either to Kansas or Arkansas. But that may not be for long, since Arkansas is about to adopt a law similar to Oklahoma’s, and Kansas is considering a similar move.
Nature abhors a vacuum. So does an economy. Trust me, jobs will get filled. It may take a couple of days, but the jobs will get filled. By people who NEED the jobs.
This needs to become a massive, rolling, unstoppable, national TREND.
Amen! BZ, if only all 50 states adopted such policies.
Why is it that one or two states can manage, but others cannot? I think we’ll find: the work WILL get done, and maybe people will make an actual wage.

It may yet happen.
As far as the jobs that only Mexicans will do, I don’t know how many such jobs actually exist, but there are Mexicans who are here legally who will probably be glad to them.
RE: shoprat “As far as the jobs that only Mexicans will do”
I think it more like jobs welfare recipients WONT do. What happened to the workfare program Bush started in his first term? The one where welfare recipients either got a job or an education and were KICKED off welfwre in 2 yrs.
That’s good news, BZ. Thanks for that!
The liberals would have everyone believe that citizens of Oklahoma, Arkansas and Kansas are nothing but a bunch of red-necked hicks, like us’n dumb bunnies here in Texas. By the way, I hope Texas and all other states jump on this bandwagon, but I don’t see much hope for Califonicate or Massachusetts.
Well if California would do this, we could save millions of dollars, we wouldn’t need to add more lanes to freeways, we wouldn’t need to add classrooms in schools, we wouldn’t have such a tough time getting into the ER, things would improve in a hurry around here.
I applaud Oklahoma and the others, I’ve been to Oklahoma, I thought it was flat and ugly, my mind has changed, it is one GREAT PLACE as of now.
I’m happy to hear this and hope Texas will follow suit very soon. I do wonder how long it will take the ACLU to challenge such laws as unconstitutional or discriminatory?
Bushwack said “I thought it was flat and ugly,”
You should take a look at the SE corner. Rolling hills, tall pines, even a good sized lake and its NOT Arkansas
The ACLU has already said it will challenge — that’s a “given.”

My Governor here in Missouri has just recently announced he plans to have our state also crack down more on illegals.
I don’t really blame the Illegal Immigrants though. I mean, if the Government made it easier to get in legally, we wouldn’t even have this problem. Well, at least not as much.
Illegals are fleeing Arizona also BZ, seems the law against hiring them is hurting their income chances:)
