Immigration crisis in Tulsa
By Theodore J. King, Tulsa Today
Illegal immigration has become a full blown crisis as thousands of illegal immigrants from Central America turn themselves into the Border Patrol to be processed though detention centers including Fort Sill here in Oklahoma. Meanwhile President Obama and Congress are involved in a legal stalemate. This crisis has inflamed both sides of the political divide with the Right fearing “fundamental transformation” of the country and the Left hoping for “fundamental transformation” of the country. This crisis was likely planned in advance as it has exploited the nation’s byzantine immigration laws.
Tulsa Metropolitan Ministries, a left-wing organization, sent out an e-mail on July 17th stating that they encourage changing the language in the media from using the term “illegal aliens” to “refugee children.” And then TMM wrote this:
“Children prevented from entering the border is immoral – we should take a lesson from the experience of the holocaust and accept the children. We are dealing with flesh and blood children. The humanity of the people entering is diminished by characterizing the children in terms of cost, disease, threats to our economy, etc. This approach to the problem is immoral. They are characterized as terrorist by some politicians. The moral voice needs to control the legal and political. The moral position should over-ride all other considerations. Moral change – rescue, protect, and support is the leading concern. These children are victims; not evil or threats to our country.”
OK Supremes divide on Tulsa DA race
By David Arnett
Updated: The Tulsa County District Attorney’s race became a great deal more complicated today with a divided decision by the Oklahoma Supreme Court rendered in favor of Representative Fred Jordan’s campaign for the office.
While the Oklahoma Constitution prohibits a legislator from taking public office during the term of a Legislature which has voted to increase the emoluments (salary, benefits, etc.) for that office; the Court ruled the prohibition “inapplicable” if the candidate is “incapable of commencing” the work of the office “until after the conclusion of the legislator’s term.” The Majority opinion noted Jordan’s term will end on November 19, 2014 and the term of the district attorney will begin on January 5, 2015.
Urgent call for blood donors
The American Red Cross is facing a looming local blood shortage and an urgent need for donors of all blood types to roll up a sleeve and give.
Donations through the Red Cross are down approximately 8 percent over the last 11 weeks, resulting in about 80,000 fewer donations than expected. The number of donors continues to decline, and the shortfall is significant enough that the Red Cross could experience an emergency situation in the coming weeks.
