The feds in D.C., along with\u00a0the ACLU, said it would be a mistake. Hey this is a conservative state,\u00a0based on Christian values&#8230; HB1330<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Guess\u00a0 what&#8230; Oklahoma did it anyway.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Oklahoma recently passed a law in the state to incarcerate all illegal\u00a0immigrants and ship them back to where they came from unless they want to\u00a0get a green card and become an American citizen. They all scattered. HB1804.\u00a0This was against the advice of the Federal Government, and the ACLU,\u00a0they said it would be a mistake.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u00a0Guess what&#8230; Oklahoma did it anyway.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Recently Oklahoma passed a law to include DNA samples from any and all\u00a0illegal&#8217;s to the Oklahoma database, for criminal investigative purposes.\u00a0Pelosi said it was unconstitutional SB1102<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Guess what&#8230; Oklahoma did it anyway.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Several weeks ago, we passed a law, declaring\u00a0 Oklahoma as a sovereign\u00a0state, not under the Federal Government directives. Joining, Texas, Montana\u00a0and Utah as the only states to do so.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">More states\u00a0 are likely to follow: Louisiana, Alabama, Georgia,\u00a0Carolinas,\u00a0 Kentucky, Missouri, Arkansas, West Virginia, Mississippi and Florida.\u00a0Save your confederate money, it appears the South is about to rise up once\u00a0again. HJR 1003<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u00a0The federal Government has made bold steps to take away our guns.\u00a0Oklahoma, a week ago, passed a law confirming people in this state have the\u00a0right to bear arms and transport them in their vehicles. I&#8217;m sure that was\u00a0a setback for the criminals\u00a0 The Liberals didn&#8217;t like it &#8212; But&#8230;.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u00a0Guess\u00a0 what&#8230; Oklahoma did it anyway.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u00a0Just this month, the state has voted and passed a law that ALL drivers\u2019\u00a0license exams will be printed in English and only English and no other\u00a0language. They have been called racist for doing this, but the fact is that\u00a0ALL of the road signs are in English only. If you want to drive in\u00a0Oklahoma, you must read and write English. Really simple.\u00a0By the way, the Liberals don&#8217;t like any of this either.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u00a0Guess what&#8230; who cares&#8230; Oklahoma is doing it anyway.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Illinois &amp; Oklahoma: The first part about Illinois and the second\u00a0part about Oklahoma.
