Apparently, TV 8 (KTUL) in Tulsa, Oklahoma, wants us to know that illegal immigrants are all cowering in fear or streaming out of the USA today because of the crackdown on illegal immigration in the Sooner state. The Tulsa TV folks are trying to make it seem as if there is a climate of fear for illegals even as our government is bending over backwards to comfort illegal immigrants not to mention the fact that many thousands of illegals brazenly paraded, without being molested by bystanders or authorities, in the streets of several large US cities in protest for their "rights" not long ago. So how much "fear" could there be in the illegal underground in the USA? And why is KTUL trying to fan those flames?

The fearmongering and sensationalism by the TV report, "Hispanic Families Begin Packing Up & Moving Out", is palpable and, it seems to me that their opening claim is a bit suspect. "Thousands of Tulsa families are now packing up and moving out in light of Oklahoma's new immigration law. Police and deputies can ask about citizenship when a person is arrested and if someone can't prove it, that person can be deported. We spoke with one family that says it's leaving Tulsa next week.
