Oklahoma GOP Proposes Novel Solution to State Deficit

Round up all Spanish speaking students in schools and turn them over to ICE. The guy who came up with this is trying to emulate Heinrich Himmler, it seems.

Republicans in the Oklahoma state legislature have a challenge on their hands: figuring out how to address a gaping $900 million hole in the state budget without raising taxes.

Some lawmakers have proposed firing nonessential college employees. Others want to drop a film tax credit, saving the state as much as $5 million.

Republican Rep. Mike Ritze told CBS affiliate KWTV that he has another proposal in mind: Rounding up the state’s 82,000 non-English-speaking students and handing them over to Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

“Identify them and then turn them over to ICE to see if they truly are citizens — and do we really have to educate noncitizens?” Ritze asked.

The lawmaker disagrees with the idea that the state should be responsible for educating children who aren’t citizens, though a 1982 Supreme Court decision, Plyler v. Doe, actually prohibits states from denying education to undocumented immigrants.

How low is using the bible to justify actions of pure hatred that could never be in it.
At least it appears their Governor would never sign that on idealogy, let alone illegal as hell, pun intended.
