Good for Oklahoma. It should be English. Three years ago, when I got my job with an oil refinery, I had to sit through a two-hour long test. I was one of the last people to grab a seat, and I got one right next to a translator and the illegal trying to get a job. He was illegal because he didn't understand, through speech or reading, a single word of English. The translator read every single question to him in Spanish, and he answered it. All in my ear, the entire two hours. Ironically, it was another who caused a reactor to blow up a few weeks ago because he didn't understand specific directions. If you know anything about oil refineries, you know they are the most dangerous places in the world. Had that reactor blew up near one of the many oil tanks, the entire refinery would've blew, and it takes our entire town with it, plus 10-15 miles in all directions outside of city limits (everything within 10 miles of the refinery literally melts, damage outside of that caused by the explosion). From just that one reactor blowing in the ammonia plant, it caused a boom that rattled windows 10 miles away...had people running out of the school across the street from me, looking east and praying it wasn't the Coop (that's what the refinery is called). Come to the US, learn English. Have your papers. Get a driver's license and a social security number. The people born in this country have to. It's bad enough that big-name factories and companies are hiring illegals to work for minimum wage (and sometimes less) just because they are twice as cheap, and they do it because they split rent and utilities with five others in the same house. Pretty ridiculous.

First of all, that's stupid. People pay taxes for that very reason, and that's the end of that discussion. If a chick was hiding in her closet, close to being murdered, and she phoned the police, should they ignore it if she didn't pay her "police fee" (if that existed)? What if there was a baby in that fire? People need to do the right thing, sometimes going beyond what they are told to do. When I was 15, I had a diabetic seizure in a grocery store. A cashier ran to grab some honey, gave it to my mom to use in between my cheeks to bring my sugars back up. Didn't pay for the bottle of honey. If that bottle was $75, I'm sure it wouldn't have mattered...and if so, it would've been paid for AFTER it was used. They stop the fire immediately, and if they are still heartless, they can charge the family $75 after it's over with. That's more related to things like flood and fire insurance. Do you know what hospitals do? They have to accept you no matter what, insurance or nothing at all, empty pockets, whatever...and they bill you later. You come in there with a devastating injury, and they are required, by law, to treat you. Doesn't even have to be that big of an injury, either. Firefighters, police, and doctors/nurses in the ER...they are all required to do their job (or should be required to do so), no matter the situation.

If you're an immigrant and you come to be a permanent resident here, you should make an effort to learn the national language. Seems like a fair law to me.
