Nebraska town votes thumbs down on illegal immigration

Obviously, this is the correct vote but it may carry some very expensive consequences for small town Fremont, NE.

From Fox News.... http://www.foxnews.com/us/2010/06/21/ne ... migration/

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.

To point out the obvious to the media, the problem is not that the Hispanic population surged, it's that the ILLEGAL population surged taking jobs that should be filled by CITIZENS. Get the difference?

Obviously the majority of Fremont's citizens get it.

Trevor McClurg said the measure is fair because it's aimed at people who aren't legally in the U.S. "I don't think it's right to be able to rent to them or hire them," McClurg said. "They shouldn't be here in the first place."

Sadly, some Fremont residents have drunk the media koolaid.

Rachel Fleming said she voted against the measure, noting that the U.S. is a nation of immigrants. "This country has been founded on waves of immigration," Fleming said. "I just think it's (the ordinance) contrary to the spirit of the country."

Rachel Fleming, and others sharing her view, could use some intensive explanations of both the history of legal immigration into America and the rule of law

Nevertheless, I doubt this law can stand in the face of the ACLU/liberal courts onslaught. What do you think?

More States, Towns, and Counties MUST jump on board to help places like Arizona, Fremont etc...Overload the ACLU and make it impossible to sue every person in the country individually.

Also, They had BETTER take up Arizona like laws or the Illegals Fleeing Arizona looking for somewhere else to go, along with the normal influx of illegals, will overwhelm them...

Get your Arizona laws up and running now folks before its too late and you are inundated by an Illegal Alien invasion.

I've got a plan for Houston...working on it. Does anybody have contact info for the Nebraska Patriots that got this thing passed?
