A big Nebraska meat packer lost lots of workers after an ICE raid. Guess what happened next.

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.

“Steve Cortes was also on “

Bannon has Cortes back on War Room?! He kicked him off back when Cortes supported someone other than Trump — DeSantis, IIRC.

I had been a dedicated viewer for many years, but stopped watching a few months ago. No single reason; it just got grueling.

” most illegals will be allowed to magically come back as legal immigrants”

It had better not happen. If/when they do come back, it should be with the stipulation that they pass basic English tests, and that they leave their effing flags in whatever sh!thole country they’re leaving.

“Welfare keeps you alive, but takes out the pride of job well done!”

I think that “pride of job well done” hasn’t been a thing in America for 25 years in many instances. In videos I’ve seen, the welfare recipients take pride in how much they’re skimming from us taxpayers; that’s where pride is now.

"Why wasn't the owner arrested?"

Yeah, that's the question everyone should be asking.

Knowingly employing illegal aliens should be considered just as despicable, and just as illegal, as human smuggling.

--No. All must go.--

"You should be ashamed of yourself for posting that.

Wow... What other part of defending the U.S.A. should we be ashamed of?

[NorthMountain]

I think the “don’t want to” and “too damn lazy and stupid” to work is a gross exaggeration, bordering on slander, perpetrated by people who hate America but haven't the guts to admit it.

>> "....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." <<

I completely disagree.
It doesn't matter how sweet & innocent you make it sound, they still broke the law and are illegally in this country.
Why exactly can't these illegals put things right with their immigration status, if they've been here for years already??
This is just one big BS excuse !!

You are also giving those who stood in line (sometimes for years) to legally come into this country, the one finger salute and a slap in the face.
Those who did endless amounts of paperwork, payed enormous amounts of money for filing fees, language translation fees.... had to be physically examined and tested for diseases, had to go to the American embassy for biometrics, interviews etc, etc....to get a visa to come here.
Now the legal immigrants have to start the next expensive, time consuming, hurdle jumping process of applying for a green card to be able to legally work.

Deport them all and NO coming back.

Ever.

[utax]

So strange we didn’t see that video on the alphabet networks. Simple oversight i’m sure.

[caww]

You’re wrong.

Check FReepmail. Not thread-related. Thanks.

[metmom]

Of course......

Just get the “worst of the worst”

Nope!

"I believe that Sinclair’s book has been credited with the changes in the industry then. Pretty much 100%."

Thanks for the confirmation. I figured the timeline came together.

[mass55th]

Yep. And they’ve been allowed to get away with it for decades. Republicans did nothing about it when they were in power previously, just like they never did anything to curb voter fraud after Gore tried to steal the election in Florida in 2000. For 20 years they acted like nothing untoward had taken place in 2000, when the Presidential election was thrown to the Supreme Court, and this country sat in limbo for a month waiting to see who was the next President. Nobody even talks about that anymore.

They are treated like the old coal miners.
They get paid on Friday and there is a guarded van that cashes their checks for %©10. They live in a communal house and pay rent on Friday. They have to pay for rides to and from the job site.
