Memo From Mexico (About Oklahoma) By Allan Wall

One of the most encouraging recent developments on the patriotic immigration reform front: state, county and local governments cracking down on illegal immigration.

Somebody needs to.

The latest law—said by some to be the toughest yet—has just come into effect in my home state, Oklahoma. It’s the famous/infamous H.B. 1804, the Oklahoma Taxpayer and Citizenship Protection Act of 2007, authored by state legislator Randy Terrill, who was interviewed on the Terry Anderson show on November 4th.

H.B. 1804 really cracks down on illegal aliens. It prohibits them from getting driver’s licenses or specific government benefits. It prohibits the sheltering and transport of illegal aliens.

It allows the local police to enforce immigration law. That doesn’t mean that Oklahoma police are going to be going door to door ferreting out illegals. But if a policeman, in the normal course of his duties, detains an individual for a felony or drunk driving, the lawman is authorized to check the detainee’s immigration status, and, if illegal, to contact immigration authorities.
