Some illegal immigrants in Oklahoma feel heat from new laws

Stronger state laws against them are making some illegal immigrants leave one area city behind. One area young man is fighting the pressure he feels to leave what he considers his hometown.

For ‘Jose,’ there is no place like the Oklahoma panhandle. This is home for me because I have never been back, he says. Never been back to Mexico since his parents brought him to the U.S. illegally when he was five. After Oklahoma enacted laws that punish employers who hire undocumented people, his family considered returning to Mexico.”*
