OKLAHOMA CITY, Oklahoma -- An Oklahoma Department of Human Services employee says state human services officials are ignoring the policy to report potential illegal immigrants to the federal immigration agency.
Steve Thomas, social worker II in the agency's Oklahoma County Rockwell office, testified before members of Oklahoma House of Representatives' Revenue and Taxation Committee during an interim study on state immigration reform Tuesday.
"There's got to be an incentive not to come (to the United States) ... we're not doing anything about it," said Thomas, who is up for retirement in November from the department. "We need to ask for identity, we need to ask for citizenship."
