I live in OKC (Oklahoma City) about 1.4 million in the metropolitan area and I work in new home construction....

I have personally noticed a huge decline in the number of hispanics on jobsites. Also, talking with many of my builders there are now a shortage of a few types of jobs that previously were grossly over employed driving prices cheaper. New home prices are in a decline nationwide except for Oklahoma. Why? Because illegals undercut our wages and now builders have to pay the normal rates for many jobs. This has held our home prices level........ This is a wonderful thing. Oh, also, crime is down!

Hey, I grew up in Oklahoma, mostly Tulsa, and this is music to my ears. I was back in Tulsa a couple of months ago and didn't see very many hispanics. It makes me proud to know that Oklahoma was in the forefront in passing tough on illegals/tough on the employers of illegals laws that may show the way and just make the difference in turning back the illegal Mexican invasion.

I grew up around the Texas Gulf coast and every year migrant workers would show up for the havests and then go home. What is happening now is that illegals staying for a better life. The fact is that if they are here illegaly then they are breaking the law and they should be rounded up and deported.
