Mike Mazzei on Immigration

 

 


I will do whatever is necessary to support border security

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, which created severe imbalances for our economy, jobs and public resources. Fortunately, the Trump administration fixed the southern border. And our law enforcement in Oklahoma has worked well with the Department of Homeland Security and Oklahoma's own Markwayne Mullen as secretary of Homeland Security to secure our border and, of course, deport criminal, illegal immigrants. As governor, I will do whatever is necessary to support border security.

MUNSON: 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, we need to make sure that we have laws that actually reflect protecting Oklahomans.
