Cyndi Munson on Immigration

 

 


Make sure laws actually protect Oklahomans

Q: Reports indicate that ICE-related arrests in Oklahoma have spiked in 2026; legal workers are now scared to come to work.

MAZZEI: When I was in the state Senate, we passed the first of its kind check on illegal immigration, but it was completely overwhelmed by the Democrat Biden invasion of illegal immigrants. As governor, I will do whatever is necessary to support border security.

MUNSON: As governor, my role will be to listen to our local leaders and to respond to what's happening in our state, anyone, regardless of whether they are from the United States or not, documented or undocumented. If you're breaking the law, you're going to face the consequences. But if you're getting up every day to go to work, to provide for your family, to provide for your community, to provide, in this case, in agriculture, our state and our country, we need to make sure that we have laws that actually reflect protecting Oklahomans.

Bills on undocumented generate fear, impacts all of us

Munson said there is a lot of "fear and frustration" surrounding the way Stitt is discussing immigration in Oklahoma. "With these types of legislation the impact is the fear," she said. "And even if the law doesn't change, people's behavior may change in that they just carry fear, and they can't be the best version of themselves. And we don't want that, you know, and it is not determined on whether that person is documented or not. It impacts all of us."
