Op/Ed: Leftist media in Tulsa are so predictable it gets boring. In print, broadcast and online, the local socialist/communist scribes continue to attack Republican officials to ridicule and diminish faith and constitutional governance. Recently our new Mayor Monroe Nichols reportedly said that “Tulsa’s focus should remain on ensuring public safety for all residents, regardless of immigration status. Nichols emphasized that immigration enforcement is a federal responsibility and indicated his intention to prioritize trust and cooperation within Tulsa’s diverse communities.”

This writer is scheduled to interview Mayor Nichols before the end of the month on this and many other topics but, in advance, we just have to ask: What rights remain that are exclusively held by citizens? Abundant costs of citizenship are obvious, but what benefits remain exclusively for citizens?
