Oklahoma Governor Signs Immigration Bill

 

 Oklahoma Governor Kevin Stitt signs House Bill 4156.

 The immigration reform bill would penalize those in the country illegally. The first offense will be a misdemeanor punishable by up to one year in county jail and/or a maximum $500 fine. That individual will then be required to leave the state within 72 hours.

Subsequent offenses or offenses committed during a crime will be a felony punishable by up to two years in prison and $1,000 fine. As with the first offense, the individual will have to leave the state within 72 hours.

Oklahoma House Democrats were extremely vocal in their opposition of the bill, saying that it encourages racial profiling and attacks current undocumented Oklahomans who contribute millions in tax dollars every year.
