As Randall Burns has noted, Oklahoma Governor Brad Henry’s life has just become a great deal more difficult. This is because HB1804, which some claim is the most drastic local measure yet to interdict illegal immigration, has cleared the legislature. Democrat Henry, who apparently campaigned against illegal immigration, has until May 8th to sign or veto the bill. (Immigration bill heads to governor Sapulpa Daily Herald May 2 2007.)

Once again, this important development in the drive by local jurisdictions to repair Federal dereliction on immigration policy is being totally ignored by the national MSM. As I write, Google News carries 40 stories on the matter, almost all local Oklahoma outlets. None are major national news venues.

Congratulations to Representative Randy Terrill and his allies for acting to protect their country.
