Monday, October 29, 2007 Suit Aims To Stop Illegal-Immigrant Lawby Emily Bazar
One of the toughest state laws targeting illegal immigrants takes effect Thursday in Oklahoma, prompting efforts by immigrants trying to block it and work by state agencies to comply. The law makes it a felony to transport or shelter illegal immigrants. Businesses, which are barred by federal law from hiring illegal immigrants, can be sued by a legal worker who is displaced by an illegal one. The measure denies illegal immigrants certain public benefits such as rental assistance and fuel subsidies. Related: Priest present petition to Gov. Henry vowing to break the law.
