TULSA, Okla. -- A Tulsa senator is sponsoring what proponents are calling a groundbreaking approach to a dire economic problem by penalizing employers who hire illegal immigrants.
The Oklahoma Fair Employment Act, by Sen. Tom Adelson, would penalize employers who hire illegal aliens and give employees who are displaced because of those hirings legal status to sue.
Since appearing on Lou Dobbs "Moneyline" on CNN, Adelson has been drawing praise from national immigration reform groups, who contend the influx of illegal immigrants is suppressing wages and threatening the American middle class.
"This is first-of-its kind legislation in the country. It is a bellwether and I am sure we will see similar bills like this," said Dan Stein, president of the Washington, D.C.-based Federation for American Immigration Reform, known as FAIR...

The Fact is Bush\Fox, likes the ideas of Mexican nationals working inside our non nation, it makes big money for mexico and drug money can be unloaded into our banks real easily and the mexican government needs that money coming into our little world.
The so called penalizing people who hire Mexican nationals is a joke and the boys in washington know that fact.
See people its all a economic trojan horse and in the end our boys in washington will be replaced by the boys from mexico city, and if you think that is insane just look around, and make note of L.A. and many other places inside this non nation.
