Immigrants drive Nebraska’s economy. Trump’s mass deportations pledge is a threat
The town I live in has two primary employers: Tyson beef packing and a Walmart Supercenter. Trump (unsurprisingly) got north of 70% of the votes in the area.
Last January, the state’s economic chamber released a report saying Nebraska had no choice but to welcome immigrants to “address the workforce gap.”
Nebraska might need immigrants, but it also voted overwhelmingly for President-elect Donald Trump, who has threatened to carry out mass deportations of people living in the U.S. illegally.
