Fremont council kills illegal immigration measure (illegal immigrants, law, hiring, school)

[blacknight04]

FREMONT — Fremont’s City Council voted to kill a proposal targeting illegal immigration at the end of a hearing that drew more than 1,000 people.

Opponents and supporters filled the Fremont High School auditorium and took turns addressing the council on a plan that would have outlawed renting housing to or hiring illegal immigrants in this city of 25,000

I remember some of you acting like the law had already passed in a previous thread.

It's a shame that they didn't do it, although I can see where the original plan was convoluted. But don't fool yourself, the fact that it was shot down had less to do with love for illegals and more to do with fear of the nearby large and powerful employer of said illegals.
