Hispanic Leaders Provide More Info On Immigration Law - Tulsa

Some Tulsa ministers say Oklahoma’s new immigration law took a toll on attendance Sunday morning. Some churches were down almost 30%. The News On 6’s Joshua Brakhage reports ministers blame the empty pews on Hispanic families who have left Oklahoma and others who stayed away out of deportation fears.

“I know a lot of people who already left,” said Mario, who is working toward citizenship.

Mario and his wife, Leticia, say they’ve thought of leaving, too, but decided it would be too hard on their son and two daughters. Leticia and Mario are Mexican immigrants, but their children are American. Mario first came to the United States 18 years ago.”*
