Fremont, Nebraska To Vote On Illegal Immigration Measure

Well said Robyn.

Go to the meatpacking plant and arrest the managers. Put them is jail. Put their managers, and the managers above them, etc. in jail. The illegal labor market will dry up in months, and the illegal workers will go home. It's really a simple and cost-effective, and effective solution: put the managers in jail!

Yes, the managers are to blame but so are the illegals. managers are not crossing the border and dragging illegals across the border nor are the managers having anchor babies it is the illegals. Take the resources from those that hire illegals and aution them off, require e-verify, require congress to put that illegals may not receive any federal funding through employment or business, take DNA samples from the illegals, take fingerprints from the illegals, deport them immidiately, no more appeals for illegals. It is time to take a hard stand against illegals. It is time to secure our border instead of worrying about the border of countries overseas. TAKE CARE OF AMERICA and AMERICANS FIRST.

No, the managers and officials of the meatpacking plant are directly 100% to blame for the illegals being there.

Illegals are not flooding to Nebraska for the weather or the good benefits, they are coming for the jobs they are offered in the meatpacking plants. Jobs that the local population, up till now, didn't want to do for the pay offered. Deny them the jobs and they go away, is this so hard to understand?

A man who helped write the Arizona law is helping to fight for the ordinance in Fremont, which has seen its Hispanic population surge in the past two decades. That increase is largely because they were recruited to work for the Fremont Beef and Hormel plants, and the city maintains an enviably low unemployment rate.

And this has been going on for decades and just now they are upset? Now that after 20 years of recruiting and paying illegal workers to work in their plants and having them spend their wages in the local communities they are suddenly pissed that illegals live their and are raising families? Nobody ever got upset in the last 20 years of Hormel hiring illegals and having those illegals in their community?

Anybody else see the hypocrisy in this?

It's mere political posturing on the right-wing, jmorris. There is no desire to stop the flow of illegal workers or to do anything at all to merely challenge the illegal labor market, no less to make inroads against it. This isn't a matter of law, or protecting our American jobs, or of doing anything for the powerless the system depends upon, or of stopping the American taxpayer subsidies of those who use illegal workers in the illegal jobs they offer. This is political posturing, and it's aim is to make political points at the expense of the powerless.

A few illegal workers will be harassed along the way; that's the point. Nothing will be done, however, to completely stop the flow, for the illegal labor market would collapse. The idea is to harass a few, knowing they'll be replaced by more. The idea is to turn the most powerful against the least, for the enjoyment of the most. There will be no moves whatsoever by the powerful against their peers, only against the powerless. That is beyond, and below, petty.

Fremont passed it and I heard the town expects all kinds of costly fury from those sworn to uphold illegality.
