Proposed ban on illegal immigrants stirs uproar in FremontA proposed law aimed at banishing illegal immigrants from Fremont, Neb., would require every renter — whether they were born in the United States or immigrated here — to obtain an occupancy license through the city.The proposal has sparked an outcry among advocates for Latinos. Nebraska Appleseed attorney Norm Pflanz said he is confident many Fremont citizens will join in opposition once they understand the full impact of the ordinance — on their lives as well as those of immigrants.Fremont's is the first city council in the state to propose an ordinance that would ban harboring and renting to illegal immigrants. Lawmakers in other U.S. localities have introduced similar initiatives, often later struck down by the courts, according to national immigration groups.Bob Warner, the longtime councilman who sponsored Fremont's proposal, said he did so because residents were "sick and tired" of what he said was the federal government's lax enforcement of immigration laws.*snip*The Nebraska Mexican-American Commission issued a statement on Thursday saying it was disappointed with "racial and anti-immigrant remarks" made at the Fremont council meeting. Tuesday was the first opportunity for the public to speak about the ordinance.Angel Freytez, commission spokesman, said some opponents of the ban left the meeting early because they felt there was inadequate security. One opponent of the ordinance later broke into tears because of the "hateful" statements, said Freytez, who called the behavior at the meeting "shameful.""Instead of raising the level of dialogue over the immigration issue," Freytez said, "they are degrading it."
If this goes through who's going to work at the Hormels meatpacking plant?
There's a reason why patriotism is considered a conservative value. Watch a Tea Party rally and you'll see people proudly raising the American flag and showing pride in U.S. heroes such as Thomas Jefferson. Watch an OWS rally and you'll see people burning the American flag while showing pride in communist heroes such as Che Guevera. --Bob, from some news site
You know, I've thought about this for a while, and this will probably please WE, but if these illegals are hurting our economy so much, I.e. takings jobs, why are we at 5.5% unemployment?

They factor in transitional people switching jobs, etc.

Kev, the unemployment roles are skewed. There are plenty of folks, like me, that have disappeared off of the unemployment roles. After six months, maybe a year, they "go away" and don't count any more. If the Government actually counted who are TRULY unemployed, I think the figures would astound the Nation. Bear in mind, I was pretty much unemployed for seven years.

Bear in mind, I was pretty much unemployed for seven years.7 years, but wasn't that pretty much by decision? As for illegals, which job do you think they have, that you could fill? Working for a landscaping company? Chicken farm? It ain't like these guys are coming here with PhD's. ....and there's no job that you're qualified for that they could fill.
So, if we're at 5.5%, and we have 20 million illegals, what happens if we, all the sudden, deport'em all?
Who gives a **** if they are working or where they work.....a mexican with nine kids that only makes $8 an hour is still living off the system...they are sucking up things like medicaid and food stamps....
As for what should happen, damn right they need to all be sent home. However, we need to put in place a system that allows more Hispanics to come to the country legally.

We've seen what illegal Hispanics have done.

This seems to be the growing trend.Anyone see the story from Virginia where a legal immigrant put a huge billboard on his yard attacking the county and the U.S. for its heavy handed policy of deporting illegals?I hope this is a ground swell movement and keeps getting bigger and bigger.It's time for AMERICANS to take back their country.
