Oklahoma Gov. Brad Henry signed an immigration bill this week that tightens standards to prevent illegal immigrants from finding work. The measure requires state and local agencies to verify the citizenship and immigration status of applicants for state or local benefits. It also requires public agencies starting Nov. 1 to use a program to verify Social Security numbers. Private companies must comply with such requirements by July 1, 2008. Immigrant groups are considering a constitutional challenge.
