Fremont, a city with a population of around 27,000 in Nebraska, USA, is facing a paradox. On one hand, it has three massive meat-processing plants that demand workers. On the other hand, locals don’t want to do the job, and immigrants aren’t exactly welcomed with open arms.
In 2010, residents voted 57% to 43% to require that all people renting a property in Fremont must first sign a declaration that they are legally present in the U.S.
“The city’s citizens asked the city council to do something because it was pretty obvious that we had just become a haven for illegals,” city council member Paul Von Behren said.
