“The writing was on the wall,” says Rev. Paul J. Colling, the 54-year-old pastor of St. Ann’s Catholic Church, Lexington, Nebraska, who also serves as vicar for Hispanic issues for the Grand Island diocese, 50,000 square miles of Nebraska that extends north to South Dakota and west to Wyoming. He remembers the life-or-death decision faced by the region’s small towns.
They could remain virtually 100 percent white, a choice favored by many residents, and lose their few factories to plants in other towns that welcomed low-pay, nonunion workers, a majority of them immigrants. Or the communities could try to avoid becoming ghost towns by supporting the hiring of workers who would make local factories more competitive. In Lexington, population 10,000, “city leaders said, ‘This is what we gotta do if we’re going to survive,’” Colling recalls.
So immigrants arrived in Lexington, home to an IBP (now Tyson Fresh Meats) beef processing plant, first by the dozens, then by the hundreds, finally by the thousands. The town became ethnically 63 percent Hispanic, 37 percent non-Hispanic, with also an estimated 1,300 to 3,000 Somalis (not counted fully in the 2010 census).
When the immigrants—Mexicans, Guatemalan Indians, Cubans, Colombians, El Salvadorans and natives of numerous African nations—started arriving, many Lexington whites left for nearby towns like Johnson Lake, which grew from 531 in 1990 to 825 residents in 2000 and remains 98 percent white. The so-called white flight might not be completely attributable to the arrival of immigrants. An unpleasant odor, blamed on the STABL Inc. rendering plant, which converts dead animals from farms and feedlots into such products as Happy Hound dog food, reportedly also played a role.

Should make it easier to round them up.
Think that’s bad? My town is 47% Iraqi.
escape from “whitelandia?”.
America is becoming a 3rd world country
SoCal?
There is a town west of Fremont that now has Spanish as it’s only language. Local packing plant has a shanty town on its property, and owns the town council.
It is modern day slavery, and neither party gives a rats behind.
An excellent illustration of how the use of illegal labor is a cancer in this country that has metastasized. It’s everywhere now.
LAUREL—About 30 cars were lined up in front of Howard Industries` Laurel plant today filled with people looking for jobs.
An estimated 350 workers are being held at an undisclosed location following an early morning raid Monday on Howard Industries that officials say is the largest round-up of its type in Mississippi in recent years.
The U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency said the 350 employees at a Howard Industries plant in Laurel are in the country illegally.
Federal warrants were issued at the plant early Monday and also at the corporate headquarters in Ellisville.
Shantay Holles, 26, of Heidelberg said she used to work at Howard Industries as an electric tester but was fired last year. She said she is applying today because she heard on the news about the ICE raid.
“That`s all they would hire—Mexican, Mexican, Mexican!” Holles said.
Samantha Stevens, 18, a 2008 graduate of Heidelberg High School, said she couldn`t find a job and she is glad the ICE stepped in.
“We were here first. It`s not fair for them to have a job,” Stevens said.
Miss Stevens statement about being “here first” is more poignant when you know that she`s a graduate of a high school which is 100% African-American, and therefore she can claim that her ancestors were brought to America in chains to work for no pay. Now that they`re free, Howard Industries is trying to replace them with illegals from Brazil, El Salvador, Germany, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, Panama, and Peru, according to ICE.

Las Uvas de la Ira
And the fools on the hill in DC wonder why Trump is so popular.
That was by design. Now the white, probably Republican enclave is now effectively diluted with gibmedats.
I bet drugs isn’t the only thing the cartel and the Iraqis are smuggling.
See my post #10.
They are a lawless lot, to be sure; it’s part of their culture. One was appointed to the city’s planning commission and after repeated reprimand from the city attorney’s office for colluding with builders on projects he had to resign. Our mayor had to resign in also after he said it like it is. He pointed out how these peoples’ kids get free lunches at the local schools while their parents are dropping them off in their late model Mercedes Benz. They have learned how to game the system and 400 more come here each and every month.
How long have you lived there?
We don’t have apartheid but the elites still want to turn this country into S. Africa Part 2.
What town would that be? I lived in Fremont until the mid eighties. It was almost all white then.
Yes, Fremont is another diverse city now.
