Oklahoma Senate Votes to Deny Illegal Immigrants Jobs, Benefits
Immigration legislation that would bar illegal immigrants from jobs and public benefits was overwhelmingly approved by the Oklahoma Senate on Monday after opponents described it as a mean-spirited measure that will cost the state more than it will save.
The measure passed 41-6 after supporters said state taxpayers are clamoring for action because of the federal government’s failure to act. TIM TALLEY (AP) in the Bartlesville Examiner Enterprise.
