Lawsuit Challenges Okla. Enforcement Law "A coalition of business groups is asking a U.S. Comments
GEE, WHAT ELSE IS NEW! SAME OLD ANTI-AMERICAN, OPEN BORDER NUTS AND THEIR NONSENSE. Posted by: American Me on October 15, 2008 12:48 PM Of course the hospitatlity and restaurant associations are behind the lack of enforcement of immigration laws. Without the slave labor they wouldn't be able to compete or make the $$$$$ they do without haveing to pay higher wages. Our immigration laws need to be enforced at all levels. I remember when I was in high school everyone looked for summer jobs - working in the fruit and nut orchards. Working the packing plants. These jobs are still out there but are mostly being accepted at low wages by illegals because the employer can get away with it. Those are places that ICE needs to enforce the laws. Posted by: Sick 'n Tired on October 15, 2008 01:35 PM This crap from the Chamber of Commerce is so obviously disingenuous; for them it's all about displacing American workers with cheap foreign labor and avoiding the responsibility of being a legitimate employer. The C of C guys don't give a damn about this country. They'd sell their grandma's house if they could make a buck on it ... What a despicable bunch of people! Posted by: Dave In OK on October 15, 2008 10:57 PM The people of Oklahoma - other than the free immigration activists - support the efforts to stop illegal immigration. We are regularly victimized by uninsured drivers. Nearly 60% of the babies are born using Medicaid. Formerly nice areas where large numbers of immigrants have settled regularly have shootings by likely gang members. It is not as bad as Northwest Arkansas. I went to the mall and was intimidated by heavily tatooed young men who I guessed were gang members. Posted by: Cee on October 16, 2008 01:50 AM I'M ROLLING ON THE GROUND IN LAUGHTER Leave enforcement of our Constitutional immigration laws to the same federal government that initiates illegal bank bailouts per our Constitution....LOL Posted by: Softwarengineer on October 16, 2008 11:13 AM Just remember, : We cannot expect our current national problems to be solved by the same minds who caused them. Posted by: Sick 'n Tired on October 17, 2008 10:40 AM GREAT TAKE SICK 'N TIRED The Socialist Dem/Rep federal bailouts were a complete failure. Home mortgage interest rates are going through the roof the last few weeks since the bailouts; expect more massive home price collapses too. see the proof: http://news.yahoo.com/s/time/20081017/us_time/thebankbailoutssideeffectrisingmortgagecosts Posted by: Softwarengineer on October 17, 2008 04:03 PM How many more examples do Americans need from the Chambers of Commerce across the nation, and other groups that GREED IS KILLING THIS NATION. Pure greed, whether it is the type that the Wall Street Bandits have perpetrated on this nation, or your local Chamber of Commerce putting profit before the welfare of the citizenry. Folks, it is all unsustainable, nation destroying greed. Posted by: Bobby on October 20, 2008 08:16 PM Post a comment Comments are held for approval before being posted.

appeals court to prevent an Oklahoma anti-illegal immigration law from being enforced. The U.S. Chamber of Commerce, the Oklahoma Restaurant Association, and the Oklahoma Hotel and Lodging Association, among others, say immigration enforcement should be left to the federal government, not the states, Legal Newsline reported Wednesday," UPI writes. "The groups say the Oklahoma law, which requires employers to verify the immigration status of employees and contractors or subcontractors, forces them to use the voluntary federal online verification system to determine workers' legal status. The law, which isn't being enforced, also requires that businesses with state contracts to withhold income taxes of contractors and subcontractors if they don't use the federal verification system."
