Answer 1

Well, considering all the other answers, it looks like this question says somewhere: "nazis only"

I am really afraid of saying something, lest they come and hang me. I never thought people in this country would be so full of hate, but I am not surprised.

Has been a long time since I realized that this country hates immigrants, legal or illegal, it is really no different. But since they cannot cast out the legals, they vent their rage with the illegals.

They don't want to see that this country was made great because of the immigrants, who brought their knowledge here. The usa now is rejecting those people.
That is a big mistake, but they don't want to see it. They are blinded by hate

Answer 2

I'm an American and an Oklahoman, but I live in Italy where I work for the U.S. Government. I still pay state and federal taxes. I had to get the proper documentation to live in Italy. Because of my status, I don't pay their taxes, but rightfully so I'm also not eligible for any of the benefits of being a taxpayer. People shouldn't come to our country and reap the benefits of our social services without paying taxes. I wasn't aware of all of the federal aid that was being given to the illegals in America until my state passed this new law and I read so much about it. It's outrageous. I just feel sorry for the kids of illegals who were born in America because now they will have to pay for their parents' mistake. U.S. Citizenship shouldn't be a simple birth right, either. NONE of the original 15 EU countries has birthright citizenship. The last EU country to have it was Ireland and the Irish people abolished it by referendum in June 2004. The vote was about eighty percent in favor of the change. Does any other country in the world grant citizenship as a birth right? I'm not racist and I think diversity is great. America is the "Land of Opportunity." But if you go to my country you should learn English, pay taxes, and make a positive contribution to our society. The legal taxpayers shouldn't have to support you...and people who are there legally want and need the jobs you are taking away.

Answer 3

I have lived in Oklahoma my entire life. It seems that a lot of people seem to think that we just don't want mexicans (sorry..not sure what the "politically correct" term should be) but as far as I see it that is not the problem. The thing that I have a problem with is the people that don't want to bother going through the trouble to become a legal citizen. If someone honestly and truely wants to live here then they need to go through the same processes of all the immigrants before them. Yes, I know there are many who slipped through the system through the years. But that doesn't make it right. We've been lax enough as it is with the requirements for being able to speak the language to become a citizen. I don't care if they want to speak their language and keep their heritage. But it isn't our heritage (not mine anyway) don't try to force it on me or my children. Go through the proper channels to be here and then get a freakin job (don't live off of welfare and the government) and I don't have a problem with it. One of our friends right now is a LEGAL resident alien working on getting his citizenship. I admire him for doing everything in his power to better his families life LEGALLY. Do it right and I have no problems.

it ought to be that activist judges of the fashionable variety have allowed using Sharia regulation as a protection in cases of kinfolk abuse. "data of the quantity to which shariah is being insinuated into the cloth of yankee society abounds, if one is keen to confirm it. an rather egregious occasion become the 2009 case of a Muslim lady whose request for a restraining order against her Moroccan husband who had serially tortured and raped her become denied via New Jersey kinfolk court docket decide Joseph Charles. The decide governed pondering the abusive husband had acted in accordance to his Muslim (shariah) ideals, and as a result no longer with criminal reason. thankfully, in this occasion, a clean Jersey appellate court docket overturned the ruling in July 2010, making clean that for the period of the USA, the guidelines of the land derive from the form and the alien dictates of shariah have not have been given everywhere in a U.S. court docket docket. nevertheless, the undeniable fact that this way of reversal become needed is instructive." from Sharia: The risk To united statesa.

Answer 5

I hope and pray that the remaining 49 states will follow suit.

It's about time that we take action against those that deliberately and willfully break the law. Legal citizens are punished for breaking the law daily, illegals should be as well.

Answer 6

They should be adopted in all 50 states. You can get a work visa and come here to work if you choose. There is no excuse for legal US citizens to have to shoulder the extra tax and charity burden posed by illegal aliens in this country.

Come here legally and work. Pay taxes like the rest of us do. Don't come here and steal and sponge off our charity.

Answer 7

I am white, spanish, argentinian with many mexican friends. There are not too many Mexicans in Oklahoma...so I think they are just trying to make a point that they want Oklahoma to stay all white.

Answer 8

Since the illegal immigration problem is out of control, and the Feds are dragging their feet, its time for the state gov'ts to act on their own behalf. I live in wis. and I wish we would adopt the same laws.

Answer 9

I'm not sure about housing, but I think that letting people illegally here have benefits of any kind encourages them to come, and that we have to logically and uniformly enforce our laws or we will never solve the illegal immigration problem. And I think it is a very big problem, ruining our schools, draining social programs intended for our own most vulnerable people and eliminating opportunities for our own people.

Answer 10

I believe the Keyword here is "illegal." It's as if someone robbed a bank, you knew it, and you helped them avoid the police by hiding them. It is called "aiding and abetting." For which, by the way, you also would go to jail.

My grandparents came from Portugal and Italy in the early 1900's. They entered the country legally, as did my husband, who is from the Dominican Republic.
