This is a really fascinating story. It feels like we're returning to an older, more populist conservatism based on preserving local values, rather than the globalist/corporatist "conservatism" which became prominent in the past couple decades.

1100 jobs for illegals and they know it

immigrants and out-of-towners would flood the area Yep, here's the kicker. This town is just 40 miles northwest of Omaha and Omaha is full of gibsmedats and illegals.

” ..... the perfect spot for a chicken processing plant .... 1,100 jobs ... “
Clearly, it would mean 1,100 Mexicans. It would ruin their town to take such a plant.

400 people in the town. 1100 proposed jobs. Did they think the townspeople couldn’t do the math?

They don’t want the Somalis. Nor do the Kenyans.

BINGO — You nailed it. The processing plant would result in a massive inflow of illegals!

I would never trust any company that wants to put a facility that employs 1,100 people in a town with only 400 residents. The labor economics alone make this a very questionable decision.

Somalis and messicans would over-run the town. then come the somali gangs and the messican gangs fighting for control.
My hat is off to these people for wanting to maintain the status quo.

Let me guess, in addition to bringing in the illegals, the company would probably want the town to pay for all sorts of infrastructure to accommodate for the new plant and that certainly would be no guarantee against the company pulling up stakes and shutting down the whole thing in five or ten years?

Beck & Cruz will be there to welcome the illegals with gift baskets and soccer balls.

There’s been a bad tendency of processors to build a packing plant in a town with the promise of jobs, then bring in illegal aliens to fill them for less than the locals would work for.
They are not wrong for doing this.
