OKLAHOMA SAYS GET OUT TO ILLEGAL ALIENS!!!
Posted: 3/11/2008 2:04:18 PM

Gosh... I do wonder... what will happen once immigrant aliens are not around...
nobody will be able to cut my grass for 10 bucks anymore...


I hate to say it, but I tend to agree with asteliapuff39.

I am hauling 45,000 lbs of produce out of Cali right now. I just picked up some cabbage at a small farm outside Stockton. I saw what the mexicans were doing out there from picking to sorting to packaging the food. The guy loading my truck said he made $5 a hour with no overtime pay even though he worked 60 hours per week.

If you think groceries are expensive now, wait until Mr. Farmer has to pay prevailing wages for these tasks, assuming he could even find anyone to do them.

I have seen info that says cost of produce should not go up much without illegal aliens. Check this link
http://article.nationalreview.com/?q=MjEwM2RmZTBmZDU2MzI1YTEyOTRkZjk4MWE2NDE0NjE=

I believe this link below describes the best course of action in the future for farmers who need fruits and vegetables picked

Thanks, I read the articles and believe robotics surely have merit.

Hopefully if enough lawmakers sign on, the transition period would not break too many farmers, especially the little guy(but who cares about him anyway?) Also, hopefully too many jobs would not be transferred out of the country because the demand for food will not fall just because the industry is having problems.

That's exactly the intent of the new laws being passed. For the US Government to stop wasting money of people who are here illegally. They use emergency rooms as clinics, having babies on the taxpayers' dollar, drawing welfare for generation after generation of beer swilling low lifes who breed like rabbits in spring time.


you will never be able to stop illegal aliens.when in mexico you might be able to make 15 dollars a day or just climb a fence or cross a river and you can be making 60 dollars a day doing a job that no white man wants to do.

It's true, that there will always be illegal aliens in the US; there's no way of stopping all of them. Those jobs taken by Mexicans are not jobs that US citizens won't do; they are jobs that US citizens won't do at the below poverty level wages that the Mexicans are willing to do the same jobs for.


how come no one ever talks about illegals from canada, jamica, haiti,middle east,italy, .......

Their time is coming too. You have to start somewhere, with the flood of illegals coming from Mexico, and the way they're destroying the US economy; it seems the most logical place to start. Besides, no one is targeting Mexicans anyway; the new laws apply to ALL persons here illegally, including all of those referred to in the previous post.


takecare you racist hillbilly living in oklahoma .just rember this counrty was made on different races and cultures . not just stockcar ,trailerparks, and eating peanutbutter jelly sandwiches

How true. This country was built upon immigrants from all over the world; all of them assimilating themselves into the American society, and learning English as their Primary language. I don't know about other ethnic groups, but, Mexicans, with few exceptions, have not done much, if anything, to assimilate into American society. They have made it a point to remain in their own little groups, setting themselves apart from the rest of society.

This country wasn't built on lowriders, blown out glass pack mufflers, khaki trousers, white T shirts, pendleton shirts, sandals, and graffiti either.

This country was built upon the hard work of all ethnic groups working together, and assimilating to become one nation, soveriegn on its own, and beholding to no one but the people who built it together.

i really don't know where you people are getting the idea that americans won't do the jobs illegals do. i'd love to see some sources on that.

i used to live in an area that had a lot of apple and peach orchards. high school kids and college kids were gagging for jobs at the orchards. boyfriend owns a pizza joint and he loses kids all the time to construction jobs.

i know a guy who paid for his college education with his lawn mowing business.

Oklahoma is sounding better all the time........About time someone stands up and says ENOUGH! I applaud Oklahoma for having the "balls" to do something about this epidemic that plagues our nation.

No, then we can start using prison and inmate labor instead and pay THEM each $5 a day instead of paying ILLEGALS $5 an hour to do the same work then at the end of the day we deduct $4 of that $5 a day from each inmate to help recoup the cost(s) of incarcerating them at taxpayer expense. You might say that then we'd have to hire guards to watch the prison and jail inmates, but in reality no we wouldn't as we already have the guards working and they are being paid the same amount regardless of whether they are babysitting the inmates inside or outside of the prison.

Hmm so either we have more power and weapons to overcome, or we sneak across the border in droves and procreate ourselves into the majority illegally and take over...

Here's the problem with that, they only take, oh, they may produce and they may even be productive, however, the end goal is to get enough money to send back to Mexico and still have enough to live on here and do the bare minimum for the country that is hosting them.

If you are here *ILLEGALLY* you are a *CRIMINAL* if you are here *LEGALLY* Welcome, Welcome!

I don't get this either and evidently they have no experience in the matter.

When I was a young man (teenager) we looked forward to spring and summer because we could make some good money working in the fields. (Yea, it's a bit Taboo to talk about these day with all the Tobacco haters now-a- days. So, if you will forgive me for a momnet and please try to remeber it was a different time back then... )We could earn $10 an hour setting/topping/tending and as much as $14 when it came time to cut and hang. It was extremely good money for the times the equivalent to earning $20 or $34 dolars an hour today that's a pretty good pay check for a teenager or even an adult starting out in life. Yes, it was seasonal work and very hard hot work at that but we didn't see it as something no American would do...

Then a time came when the local politicians and business men sold the idea to the local farmers that they could get their crops in cheaper by using migrant workers from Mexico. I of course saw the fallacy of this idea and advised my farmer friends this wasn't a good idea (I was no lorger doing the field work at this point) some listened and aome did not. The one's who didn't got a labor force that would do the same work for $4 on everything with the incentive to increase that pay as infaltion adjusted. All seemed perfect to the farmers who had went along with the idea and soon the problems popped up that I knew was coming. They was getting a cheap labor force but now the farmer had to buy several mobile homes (furnished by the way) in which to house the workers, they had to provide all the elcetricity, water, etc, at no cost to the workers and all of this was signed to a deal of a 10 year contract That cheap labor force now was costing twice, sometime three times as much as the local work force they had given up all on a sales pitch of cheap labor... Just because the farmer's worker in the field is getting paid very little doesn't mean that farmer himself isn't paying $50 or $60 dollars in total to have that worker in the field...

Some cheap labor that turned out to be...

"Wow! What a topic!

History certainly repeats itself sometimes....some of these sentiments must have been the same the Aborignal Peoples felt when thier lands were being invaded by those Illegal Aliens about 500 years ago.

Amazing...."

The aboriginals are now being very well compensated for the theft of their land. They built casinos to take the invaders paycheck.

Hey low riders are cool, and some graffiti shows a lot of artistic merit (I don’t mean taggers, they suck)… just saying lol.

Yes one day the robots will put an end to all these illegal immigration problems… and by put an end to it I mean kill us all…

No, then we can start using prison and inmate labor instead


Not real sure I want an unhappy, disgruntled convict to be the first to handle my food. We would probably find unwanted items in there once in awhile.

I would like to stop illegal immigration just like everyone else, but it is not as easy as some of you make it out to be. If it were, it wouldn't be a problem.

You are living in a fantasy world if you think our kids would take up the slack. It is a nice thought though.

I run through California every week and there are thousands of workers in those fields day after 100 degree day.

Sounds nice on an individual basis but try displacing families and looking at yourself in the mirror the next day, or deporting the illegal workers that support entire communities and watch their economies crumble.

Like it or not the illegals that are here are here to stay.

I grew up in California, and it seemed as if Illegals had always been there. They were known as Migrant Farm Workers back then. For every one of those workers you see in the fields every day, there are another ten, that are sitting idle somewhere, likely drawing welfare, swilling beer, with a pregnant woman at home, along with one or two other kids that were had on the taxpayer's dime. It used to be a running joke, when I was a kid, that Mexicans only knew how to do three things, draw welfare, drink beer, and breed. Heck, they used to "borrow" one another's kids, to take to the welfare office, so they'd get more money from welfare.

There are a great many jobs that Illegal Immigrants do today, that used to be done by Americans; including picking fruits and vegetables. However, Americans will not do the jobs for the same wages that Illegals will.

One of the reasons Illegals are willing to work so cheap, is that they claim enough dependents, that they get ALL of their paychecks, unlike Americans, who have taxes taken out. After three to five years, the Illegals go back to where they came from, never having paid taxes here in the US.


Sounds nice on an individual basis but try displacing families and looking at yourself in the mirror the next day, or deporting the illegal workers that support entire communities and watch their economies crumble.

Trauma centers are almost non existent anymore, because so many "patients" have come through them that don't pay a dime, and hospitals could no longer afford to keep them open.

The US housing market is in a major slump, and the rest of the economy is slowly following. Illegals have depressed wages in jobs that used to be considered middle class, family supporting jobs, meat cutting, construction, landscaping, and heavy equipment operation.

Illegals sneak across the border, have "Anchor Babies" on the US taxpayer dollar, and now I'm expected to support the entire family, including all of the other children this prolific breeding pair may decide to have, in order to collect more welfare? Please forgive me, but, I don't mind one bit, sending Illegals back to where they came from.

If things are so bad in their home countries, maybe they should try fixing things where they came from, instead of coming to the US, and trying to drag this great nation down to the same depths of financial ruin that they have their home country.

I disagree, the illegals that are here are not all here to stay. States that have passed tough laws against illegal immigration have seen many of their illegal population pack up and leave for another state or pack up and leave the country altogether. If every state passed laws like that, most illegals would leave the country on their own and the illegal immigration problem would be far less of a problem than it is today.

Why do some say this is racist. It is about illegal immigration, not illegal hispanic immigration. It just so happens there are many more illegal hispanics at this time.

There are solutions to this problem though we will never totally eliminate illegal immigration, we can limit it. I work as an assistant golf course superintendent, last year we employed some Guatemalans through the H2B program. They are given work visas, brought in by another company, when the season is over the go back home. Hopefully, they return this year, but right now the visas are being held up. No, if they aren't able to get their visas, what will they do? I am sure some will try to come to the states illegally. So write your congressman.

We are a nation that has formed from immigrants from all kinds of countries coming together and becoming Americans. I think one of the biggest problems with the immigrants from today (and this includes Chinese, Indian, Mexican and a lot of the nationalities that are moving here) is that they are not proud to become Americans anymore. They just see America as a place where they can make money and send it back to their "real" homes in other countries.

Friend, good point. It's about currency exchange, and sending money home.

Are they harder workers? Depends how you look at it.

11 pesos= 1 dollar.

If you could make 11 times your currency in another country, have free health care, pay no tax, and live with your friends and relatives so that you have very low bills, who wouldn't want to work many hours? Imagine if you could get a job blowing leaves across the border and making 120 -160 dollars an hour, most of which you can save...

I know many that are young, 25-30, that own or have a few houses in Mexico,land, another business, huge savings, etc.

Brand new state!
Brand new state, gonna treat you great!
Gonna give you barley, carrots and pertaters,
Pasture fer the cattle,
Spinach and termayters!
Flowers on the prarie where the June bugs zoom,
Plen'y of air and plen'y of room,
Plen'y of room to swing a rope!
Plen'y of heart and plen'y of hope.
Oklahoma, where the wind comes sweepin' down the plain
And the wavin' wheat can sure smell sweet
When the wind comes right behind the rain.
Oklahoma,
Ev'ry night my honey lamb and I
Sit alone and talk and watch a hawk
Makin' lazy circles in the sky.
We know we belong to the land
And the land we belong to is grand!
And when we say
Yeeow! Ayipioeeay!
We're only sayin'
You're doin' fine,
Oklahoma!
Oklahoma O.K.

betterlate :Have you heard anything about THE NORTH AMERICAN UNION??
and have you heard anything about the : DENVER MINT printing up AMEROS ??

The Trans-Texas Corridor (TTC) is ready to begin construction in 2007, building the first segment of what is planned to be a NAFTA Super Highway stretching from Mexico to Canada. As we have previously written, the NAFTA Super Highway is planned to begin at Laredo, Tex., proceeding north to Kansas City via Oklahoma City, and ultimately connecting with Canadian limited-access highways north of Duluth, Minn.


North American Union: Is there an "Amero" currency being planned by combining Canada's, Mexico's and our US currency - a North American Union (NAU) like the one in Europe? If so, when is it supposed to take place?

I have a funny feeling that when November comes around, there is not going to be an election

What with this? With President Ronald Reagan tried something with Immigration Reform,but it don't look like anything happened,it looked like it just got worse..

In 1986, Reagan signed the Immigration Reform and Control Act (IRCA). The act made it illegal to knowingly hire or recruit illegal immigrants, required employers to attest to their employees' immigration status, and granted amnesty to approximately 3 million illegal immigrants who entered the United States prior to January 1, 1982 and lived there continuously. Critics of the act claim that its laws subjecting employers to sanctions were without teeth and that it failed to stem illegal immigration. Upon signing the act at a ceremony held beside the newly refurbished Statue of Liberty, Reagan said, "The legalization provisions in this act will go far to improve the lives of a class of individuals who now must hide in the shadows, without access to many of the benefits of a free and open society. Very soon many of these men and women will be able to step into the sunlight and, ultimately, if they choose, they may become Americans."

Is anyone out there aware that our President along with the Prime Minister of Canada and the President of Mexico have already negotiated the Security and Prosperity Partnership (SPP)? Some members of our Congress are up in arms about it because they were never informed. SPP is a step beyond NAFTA on the road to the North American Union (NAU). A common currency is part of the agenda. I don't know where the name "Amero" came from but that is a small matter when you consider the loss of our sovereignty and being governed by appointed (as opposed to elected) and unaccountable persons who only have their own plans in mind. The information is out there. Seek and ye shall find. It's REAL.

I think one of the biggest problems with the immigrants from today (and this includes Chinese, Indian, Mexican and a lot of the nationalities that are moving here) is that they are not proud to become Americans anymore. They just see America as a place where they can make money and send it back to their "real" homes in other countries.


Oh please. While it's always nice to see somebody who is proud to become an American, throughout history people come here because it's better. Whether it be better opportunities, better jobs, no religious persecution, there's always a reason for people to come here.
