Part 8/10:
Oklahoma’s aggressive stance comes amid ongoing debates about immigration policy, border security, and public safety. Critics of liberal policies argue that states that hand out licenses indiscriminately and oppose cooperation with federal immigration enforcement are inadvertently endangering citizens. The arrest of illegal drivers—including those with violent crime histories—illustrates the tangible risks of lax policies.
Meanwhile, opponents in "sanctuary" states continue to resist federal efforts, embedding policies that prevent cooperation with ICE. The contrast is stark: Oklahoma actively utilizes existing laws to enforce deportations and remove dangerous illegal immigrants, while other states opt for policies that leave communities vulnerable.
