What can you say about a national organization like the U.S. Chamber of Commerce who sides with illegal foreign nationals against a state? This is exactly what happened in Oklahoma Friday when a third lawsuit, in as many court jurisdictions, was filed against the state of Oklahoma and its citizen-supported anti-illegal foreign national law, HB 1804.
How dare this national organization, who clearly favors slave labor, sue Oklahoma and its citizens!

The U.S. Chamber of Commerce has joined forces with the Oklahoma City and Tulsa chambers to sue the state over its immigration reform law.
The U.S. Chamber filed for an injunction Friday in U.S. District Court for the Western District of Oklahoma.
The lawsuit targets specific aspects of House Bill 1804. Among other things, the new law creates state barriers to hiring illegal immigrants, requires proof of citizenship to receive certain government benefits and makes it illegal to knowingly transport illegal immigrants.
Through the injunction, the U.S. Chamber is seeking to stop the implementation of two sections of the measure.
The lawsuit challenges a requirement that employers doing business with the state use the federal government's voluntary experimental program for verifying work eligibility.
It also challenges require ments for businesses to verify the work authorization status of individual independent contractors to avoid state tax penalties.
I've been keeping track of our state's fight here.
