Several Senators have learned of a possible plan by the Obama Administration that would provide a mass Amnesty for the nation’s 11-18 million illegal aliens. Led by Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), eight Senators addressed a letter to the President asking for answers to questions about a plan that would allow DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano to provide an amnesty if they can’t secure enough votes for a bill in the Senate.

The letter that was sent to Pres. Obama earlier today asks the President for clarification on the use of deferred action or parole for illegal aliens. The executive actions are typically used in special cases and are evaluated on a case-by-case basis, but if 60 votes can’t be secured in the Senate to pass a mass Amnesty, the Administration may use the discretionary actions as an alternative.

Opponents say it could fuel discrimination.

It should help eliminate discrimination, because in the future when one sees a Hispanic at the market they can be reasonably confident that the Hispanic is here legally and a economic contributor to society and not an illegal economic and social destroyer.

"The town has watched as its Hispanic population surged in the past two decades, largely due to the jobs...."

Translation: "These racists are only objecting to skin color."

Unofficial vote totals 3,906 yea (57%)/2,908 nay (42%). Turn out approx. 46% of registered voters.

Here is the language from the ballot:

PROPOSED ORDINANCE NO. 5165

"Shall the City of Fremont, Nebraska, enact proposed Ordinance No. 5165, amending the Fremont Municipal Code to prohibit the harboring of illegal aliens or hiring of unauthorized aliens, providing definitions, making provision for occupancy licenses, providing judicial process, repealing conflicting provisions, and establishing an effective date for this ordinance?

As a lifelong Fremonter I am proud that we passed this ordinance. I would have been posting on here, but I was covering the results for local radio stations.

The news today is that the ACLU will have an injunction in place within 48 hours. Our city council and city attorney appear prepared to let things die, as they have been very open regarding their opposition to the ordinance.
