With 20% of the vote counted, 58% of voters in Fremont, Nebraska are supporting the racist law designed to target Hispanics for profiling.
Fremont is 95% white and has a Hispanic population of 4%--most of who are legal citizens...yet they feel compelled go on a mission to persecute a America's current favorite minority to hate.
Jobs? They have a very low unemployment rate-much lower than the average so it's not like they are reeling from lack of jobs and layoffs
Illegal workers? Most are hired by the Hormel meat packing plant which is outside the city so they would not be affected by the new law.
The city has prepared plans to cut services and raise taxes to pay for the legal fees when the lawsuits begin. The Nebraska chapter of the ACLU has already announced it will file a lawsuit.
Similar laws were passed in Farmers Branch, TX and in a small town in PA and both were struck down as unconstitutional after very costly legal battles.
So why would a practically all lilly white community hundreds of miles away from the border, with plenty of jobs for residents, be willing to cut their services, pay higher taxes for the privilege of engaging in a quasi-ethnic cleansing campaign?
Racism. And the first thing racists say' the way they preface all tgeir arguments is by saying it's not about racism...Whenever someone starts off by saying they are nbot racist, chances are they are indeed racist.
Of course most Americans today do not care that most Hispanics are legal and millions were born here and have been here for generations...Most Americans today do not care that these good Americans will invariably be victims of discrimination caught up in the witch hunt for illegals.
I suspect many Americans in fact welcome the opportunity to harass any Hispanic - legal or illegal.
Hispanics are said to comprise about 30% of all illegals yet illegal has become synonymous with hispanic. And all Hispanics ( Cubans, Puerto Ricans who are natural born citizens, Chileans, Argentinians, Colombians, etc. are all referred to as "Mexicans"...The word Mexican is now a racial slur in America.
It's quite sad to this nation behaving the same as so many other nations that wallow in racial and ethnic hatred and divisions.
Europe has a long history of this racist disease and it's obvious that many Americans of European descent have the same disease...
It must be in the genes.
