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.

https://notthebee.com/article/ice-nabs-75-80-illegal-immigrants-in-raid-on-meat-packing-plant-in-omaha-that-used-e-verify-to-screen-employees ============================================================

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.

Drywall, roofing and building. Anthing not controlled by Unions is filled with the Mehicans.

In the early 1970’s I went to work hauling drywall, then learned to tape and texture. I got bored with it after 11 years, but EVERYONE who worked in the trades was American. I started my own paint contracting business, and hired only American workers. I retired from this in 2014. There was NEVER a shortage of white or black American workers.

The thing I miss most now that I am old, is the ability to work harder than others, long days, the thrill of a completed project is an endorphin rush in itself. To rob American men of this thrill of the skill, is a crime against Humanity and the US population at large.

DEPORT DEPORT DEPORT them all. Without SSDI and welfare, unemployment would be at 25%. Put these bums to work, and give them purpose and a basis for 2 parent households.

You don't do for one, what you can't or won't do for all. How do you know those illegals in red states vote red? You have to be firm, fair and consistent in applying the law. Overlooking illegals, and making special arrangements for those in red states, even those who have been here for years doesn't cut it for me, nor is it right or fair. It's nothing more than what has been happening in this country for decades, which is why we are where we are today. All of them need to go. Not just the ones in blue states. If those illegals living in red states came here for a better life, and have been here for years, but didn't bother to take the steps necessary, then they need to go. Part of coming here for a better life means becoming citizens. There is no excuse.

While I agree with your points, the main concern with illegals isn't so much that they're voting Dem vs Repub, but that since they're (incorrectly) counted for apportionment, large numbers in red States mean more Reps are given to States that tend to vote Dem overall.

So the jobs are being filled with Americans? This will be hidden from the public by the MSM.

Bannon said tonight it wasn’t official or announced, but he had heard that DHS was going to reverse Trump’s announced protection for ag, hotel and restaurant illegals.

Steve Cortes was also on with polling that showed 2-to-1 support for mass deportations as well — in a poll that only had 47% Trump support.

Of course, we also know now from Alex Jones that Trump intends to do a Bush/McCain-style amnesty whereby after they’re deported most illegals will be allowed to magically come back as legal immigrants, so constant vigilance is needed.

That's why I mentioned the census and it's going back to normal once all illegals are gone from all the States.

George W. Bush said Hispanics in the U.S. were only doing the jobs American workers would not do. Well, well, well, Jorge, what do you say about this story?

Yes, exactly.
Welfare keeps you alive, but takes out the pride of job well done!
Getting something done, even simple thing, is such a great feeling and these people are depriving Americans of that!
Criminal!
Deport them all!

H-1Bs bring in their families. (Spouse and kids under 21. The couple’s parents aren’t covered. But if my neighbors are any guide, they come along, too.) A company pays for one cheap H-1B. Taxpayers pay for whatever benefits and K-12 education the others draw on. Spouse and kids (when old enough) can apply for green cards. They’ll work cheap, too, driving down wages. All “nice and legal.” Not a fan.

The problem is the snowflake generation doesn’t want to work!

That, and welfare/"disability" is far to easy to get.

“Those people who have become integrated into small rural towns for years - even decades - should not be targeted.”

That’s bullsh!it, and not why we “hired” PDJT. ALL OF THEM MUST GO!

Who the hell do they think they are, anyhow, jumping the line while others have been waiting for years coming in the right way? What is wrong with you?

“don’t undo all the great work he did to gain support of Hispanics by over-reaching.”

Are you living in Bizarro World? Those illegals are the reason law-abiding Hispanics voted for Trump. They want the illegals gone, too — probably more than most people. Their existence is a spit in the face to Hispanics who came here the right way.

“They should ALL be deported”

The first ones to go should be the ones flying a flag of another country in OUR country. Brazen ingrates.

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

“How do you know those illegals in red states vote red?”

Supposedly, almost zero illegals actually vote. They’re being brought in for two reasons. For the RATs to be able to connect a harvested ballot with a warm body. (Elections officials should not be accepting these harvested ballots.) And to bump up bodies to manipulate EVs in elections, in which case they need to be gone before the 2030 Census.

“I would prefer the use of nightsticks, mace, and pepper spray. Serious consequences are the only way to cause these would be thugs to think twice.”

Nightsticks, mace, and pepper spray aren’t “serious consequences”.

“we have anti-American shitbirds ON THIS VERY FORUM maintaining that Americans don’t want to work, can’t work, are too damn lazy and stupid to work, and we NEED the precious illegal aliens to survive.”

1. We definitely don’t NEED the illegals to survive. Get them the hell out of here ASAP. Filling the jobs they leave will eventually work out just fine.

2. I think the “don’t want to” and “too damn lazy and stupid” to work is a generational thing, and pretty much describes the young people who are 14-to-25 years old. I don’t know what can be done about them; their parents spoiled them rotten.

(I put age 14 in there ‘cause I was picking crops for local farmers when I was 14.)
