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!
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.
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?
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.
Why wasn’t the owner arrested?
20 years ago $400 got you a social security card AND a matching drivers license.
Tyson Foods is notorious for hiring illegals. Monett Missouri is packed full of illegals. Even celebrate Mex Holidays with parades.
“Guess what happened next.”
The owner was arrested for multiple violations of employment law? Or is that too much to hope for?
These companies don’t want to lose their slave labor. They are content keeping the public in the dark about it, and just charging higher prices for their meat products.
Average Americans destroying the leftist narrative without even trying.
what a shocker: Americans willing to work at any honest job for a decent wage.
better pay attention Mr. President. no more amnesty!
The library was closed because of the raid at Glenn Valley Foods? Were the LIBRARIAN and other library workers ILLEGALS?
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.
Why in the middle of America do you have a Hispanic speaking community? How many of those people are ILLEGAL??
As of Friday, some had reopened.
Check the status of those businesses. Are they licensed?
Deporting illegals has an almost immediate effect on wages, pushing them up.
