Tulsa Community Leaders Launch Effort To Reform Immigration Laws

Several of Tulsa's community leaders announced the launch of an Oklahoma effort to reform immigration laws.

They've started the Oklahoma coalition of the national FWD.us program.

FWD.us is a bipartisan organization working to create what it calls a more welcoming immigration policy while still securing borders.

Laura Bachman with Tulsa's YWCA said she hopes Tulsa can steer away from fear mongering over immigration.

"Tulsa is a welcoming community to all, and to the immigrants who are already in Tulsa, in our various industries, in our schools, and in our communities," Bachman said.
