Immigration - in Oklahoma
I'm pretty sure the governor signed this bill...
Tim Talley writing for the Associated Press:
"Legislation described as the nation’s most sweeping attempt to deny jobs and public benefits to illegal immigrants was sent to Gov. Brad Henry’s desk Tuesday.
State lawmakers urged Henry to sign the measure into law after it was approved in a bipartisan 84-14 vote by the state House. The bill was approved 41-6 by the Senate last month.
'The people of Oklahoma are very strongly for this bill,' said House Speaker Lance Cargill, R-Harrah."
