OKLAHOMA CITY -- A Senate committee on Tuesday easily approved a pair of Republican-sponsored bills designed to crack down on illegal immigration, despite concerns from Democrats that the bills were an example of "mean-spirited" political pandering.

One would deny Oklahoma citizenship to babies born to illegal immigrants..This is long overdue. It would cut down on the world coming here to have kids for entitlement reasons. Illegals would cut back with, from they would not be getting any more welfare,food stamps, medicaid.Once they realize they will have to start paying for their kids 100 % and not the taxpayers, I believe we would see a decrease in births.

if "mean-spirited" is truly the case doesn't that make the Democrats "mean-spirited" toward the legal citizens whom they supposedly work for and who support many of the illegals with their tax dollars? The democrats obviously need the illegal vote to compete with one who is principled and pro US.
