Remember this story out of Omaha where the feds used E-verify to track down more than 100 illegal aliens using fake IDs? And that those illegals allegedly pulled box cutters on ICE agents?
===============================================================
ICE uses E-Verify system to nab over 100 illegal aliens at Omaha meat packer 🤔 E-Verify was meant to screen out illegals from taking American jobs, but ICE's recent raid on Glenn Valley Foods in Omaha, Nebraska, shows it doesn't really work.

We were told this city would be in turmoil. The plant wouldn't know what to do without their illegal workforce. There would no recovery from this.
Anyways, cut to a few days later:
But ... but ... I was told that companies like this were forced to hire illegal labor because these are jobs that Americans won't do! Turns out, these are jobs that Americans and LEGAL immigrants WOULD be doing, if it weren't for illegal aliens taking all the jobs and driving down wages.
It's almost like the entire point of our effectively open borders has been to drive Americans out of jobs that illegal immigrants will do for half the price.
But, hey, at least the price of beef has gone down since then, right?
Right?
More from that NBC News link above:
News of the ICE raid this week sent a crippling, chilling effect across the city. The local library and community college closed early on Tuesday. Construction sites and other workplaces have been desolate. South Omaha's business district, known as a vibrant Hispanic and immigrant enclave, shut down immediately after the raid. As of Friday, some had reopened.
Yes, and then by Thursday, Americans hearing of the new jobs at the packer showed up to fill them. A real "chilling" story for Omaha, Nebraska.
Meat packers are one evil beneficiary of open borders. They should ALL be raided.
They regard those jobs as "theirs". No legal workers or citizens allowed on the floor.
Thanks for a great Monday morning feel good story!
Doing a raid like this in blue Omaha is fine, but a bit of restraint is needed in deep red areas where there may be long-time illegals who have been working and paying taxes for years. Those people who have become integrated into small rural towns for years - even decades - should not be targeted. Just get the “worst of the worst” like DJT promised, don’t undo all the great work he did to gain support of Hispanics by over-reaching. Get rid of 8 million Biden illegals and it will cost Democrats a handful of House seats. Do that!
Trump and future President Vance should kick all of the illegals out of blue states before the 2030 census.
Yes, there were even studies during Trump 45 that the jobs vacated by illegals were quickly replaced by the disadvantaged Americans.
Especially it was a Bonanza for poor African Americans.
It seems kind of racist to me to discriminate against poor Americans of color by replacing them with illegals!
No wonder Blacks are turning to vote for Trump.
Nope!
All illegals must go!
Here’s what passes for “mostly peaceful” in Omaha. Way too much restraint.:

I seem to remember that in the 70s and 80s jobs in meat-packing plants were regarded as “good jobs” with high wages and good benefits.
Is my memory correct? Does anyone remember differently?
Yes, that was because they were mainly union wage scale, IIRC.............
The “driving down wages” argument no longer holds water. All the illegals I know of in the construction trade demand the same money as US citizens. The problem is the snowflake generation doesn’t want to work!
I worked at a packing plant in Schuyler, Nebraska back in 1981 and was making $10 an hour union. Company said, take a $2 an hour decrease or we shut the doors. Union voted against it, shut the doors to break the contract and re-opened at $4-5 an hour less. Took my mom to some family graves a year or so ago and Schuyler is like little Mexico.
I deliver several times a day to a chicken processing plant. I have seen unmarked white vans with tinted windows picking up and delivering slews of Hispanic workers every shift. The vans are used and older, driven by fat white obviously American people. I have always suspected they are housing and transporting illegals to these places to work.
😁😎....................
you lie
No, every single illegal must be removed!
Why wasn’t the owner arrested?
