Immigration Reform Already Affecting Hispanic Businesses – Tulsa, Oklahoma

“House Bill 1804, Oklahoma’s sweeping immigration reform bill, does not go into effect until November. Still, Hispanic business owners in Tulsa say it has already had a devastating affect on their community’s economy. This past weekend, Hispanic community leaders claimed that, fearing the effects of 1804, as many as 25,000 Hispanics have already left Oklahoma. The News On 6’s Chris Wright reports while there is no way to prove whether or not that is true, business owners say they have some evidence that points to a mass exodus.

Que Buena, a Hispanic radio station, says fewer and fewer advertisers are opting to pay for spots during their commercial breaks. The companies, some of whom have advertised with Que Buena for 10 years, have told the station that the commercials simply aren’t worth it anymore.”
