They really think people on the left can't have fun, which, okay, I can see why some people on the left give off that idea, but I'm a proponent of gay drugs socialism, and I love eating pizza, drinking beer and watching Evil Dead (I never got into sport). Like, that looks like a good evening!

Loathe as I am to admit it, my parents are all in on this poo poo too. My parents in northeastern Ohio, which is almost as far from the southern border as you can get.

“The illegals are ruining everything!”

Oh, word? Are they reason the schools in your area are consolidating and closing their doors because there aren’t enough kids (or tax dollars) around to justify keeping them open? Are they the reason your favorite restaurants are only open like three days a week or shuttered entirely because there aren’t enough people around to patronize them? Are they the reason that anyone with a brain and the financial means to move away does so as soon as they possibly can?

It’s all you and your small-minded ilk shooting yourselves in the dick. Nothing ever improves because your politics are grounded in spite and contempt. You pass on opportunities because you would rather wage meaningless culture wars on manufactured boogeymen while everything around you crumbles into ruin.

Bah, sorry. I’m going to end things there before I get into a multi-page screed. But gently caress Fox News, gently caress conservative media, and gently caress everybody with the power or a platform to call this poo poo out, but never does. They’re a cancer that’s slowly killing us all.

Big-city mayors may be complaining about the economic impact of an influx of migrants, but the residents of a small city near Omaha can’t decide how they feel.

Fremont, Nebraska, population 27,000, has three massive meat-processing plants. As young locals leave in search of better jobs, Central American migrants have been taking their places in the slaughterhouses, especially after Costco opened a huge rotisserie chicken facility in 2019.

“We need these people,” said Mark Jensen, president of the city council. “We need this work done. This is what feeds the nation and the world.”

But instead of a welcome mat, for more than a decade Fremont has had a controversial law on the books that tries to bar undocumented migrants from living within city limits. In 2010, residents voted 57% to 43% to require that all people renting 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,” said city council member Paul Von Behren.

Brenda Ray, who has lived in the Fremont area for 40 years, said she noted the change in the city’s population and voted for the ordinance back in 2010. She said she doesn’t “have a problem” with the Central American arrivals “if they are legal and they come in to speak American English.”

She wishes the rule, known as Ordinance 5165, “accomplished more,” but still supports it.

“It’s something that we have in our toolbox,” she said. “If we have a big problem we can fall back on it.”

The factories need workers, however, and the migrants have kept coming. By 2022 a town that was once nearly all white had become 16% Latino, according to census data, and the number has risen since. Many of the most recent arrivals are from Guatemala. The Guatemalan consulate in Omaha says there are at least 2,020 Guatemalans in Fremont and the true figure could be 45% higher.

Maria Hernandez and her husband, Vicente, pastors at one of the local Guatemalan churches, Dios es Amor #2, said their flock has grown from three congregants to 200 in seven years. They say many members work at the slaughterhouses, making it a frequent topic of prayer.

“I tell them that we have to give thanks because God has put in men who have companies,” Maria said. “If it weren’t for these companies we wouldn’t have a job.”

Vicente also works at one of the local slaughterhouses, cleaning the kill floor on the overnight shift. He thinks the city and the migrants are a good match.

“With Hispanic migrants, although it is hard, although it is heavy, they endure,” said Vicente. Between the church and the plant, he said, he gets three hours of sleep a night.

Jensen worked in the meatpacking industry for 40 years and says he’s seen how these jobs have become less attractive to native-born Americans.

“These are very physical jobs,” Jensen said. “And a lot of it’s hard work. And it’s not something that a lot of people can do.”

I met a traveler from York’s new land,
Who said — “Two squat legs in a polyester blend
Rest in midtown… like a centaur stands,
amongst buildings half-liquidated to make amends
For financial crimes against the men
Who helped the petty empire grow
For a short-fingered tyrant and sex pest
Whose empty heart love never deigned to know;
And on a small plaque, these words appear:
SAD! FAKE WITCH HUNT!
Look upon my billion dollars, chuds, and despair!
Nothing beside remains to testify his power
In front of midtown’s first and only
Barack Hussein Obama Abortocare Megatower.”
