WAKE UP AMERICA

FREMONT, Neb. – Voters in the eastern Nebraska city of Fremont on Monday approved a ban on hiring or renting property to illegal immigrants, the latest proposal in a series of immigration regulations taken up by communities around the country.
About 57 percent of voters in Fremont supported the proposal, according to unofficial results that still must be certified by the election commissioner. The measure is likely to face a long and costly court battle, with the American Civil Liberties Union saying it will try to block it before it even goes into effect.
The town of about 25,000 people has watched as its Hispanic population surged in the past two decades, largely due to the jobs available at the nearby Fremont Beef and Hormel meatpacking plants. The city also has an enviably low unemployment rate that matches the Nebraska rate of 4.9 percent.
Nonetheless, residents worry that jobs are going to illegal immigrants who they fear could drain community resources. Proponents of the ballot measure collected enough signatures and fought in the Nebraska Supreme Court to put the question to a public vote.

“We’re making it even MORE illegal!”
Since the federal government is not going after these companfies that hire illegals, the cities and towns and hospitals need to start suing them to recover the costs of services.
Go Nebraska!!!
Ping!
Since illegals are not “Americans” the ACLU has no standing.
Case dismissed with prejudice.
Poll ping

First comes all the boycotts from the liberal run governments. Then comes the protests from the illegals. Then comes the lawsuits led by Obama and company.
what does “cornhusker kickback” ben nelson think of this?
Go Fremont!
Neb. town votes to restrict illegal immigration, plans to build walled city (57% of voters favor latest proposal; 43% favor moat and drawbridge)
Why is this option always off the table?
It really must be bad in this town, the Nebraskans I know are those kind of white people who bend over backward to avoid any kind of controversy.
The local packing plant is bringing in a lot of illegals, and while many are ok, the crime rate is rising.
Never move to a packing plant town, its where the genocidal multicultural left sides with the chamber of commerce right to screw the population over in everyway possible.
