Fremont, Nebraska...my hometown. Looks a lot different from when I left there 15 years ago....
Left there 25 years ago.
My hometown, too. Great town, middle America. They are just trying to keep it that way.
We must be the same age. I have family still in Dodge county, and things are a lot different.
One friend was complaining about the Latin King gang signs painted on the north side of the mall.
Fellow Nebraska native - just a little to the west of Fremont but same values and concerns. Nebraskans are fair people, sons and daughters of immigrants who love their own ethnic heritage (you know nearby communities like Schuyler and Clarkson that have strong German, Czech, and Polish histories) but they are Americans first. Legal immigrants will be welcomed as neighbors. Illegals, well what is hard to understand about “illegal”?
Omaha and Lincoln have always been “a whole nuther country”. The small cities and towns of Nebraska should follow Fremont’s lead. Be the state that stands up for tradition and forces this issue onto the national agenda. Just let the beltline bandits try to convince people out here in Flyover Country that illegals deserve the same rights and services!
