FREMONT, Neb. – The mayor of this Nebraska city broke a 4-4 council vote on Tuesday that killed a proposal that would have targeted illegal immigrants. The ordinance would have barred renting housing or hiring illegal immigrants.
Fremont's proposal was revised last week to include hiring provisions, reports said. It would have required all businesses in city limits to use a federal Internet-based employment verification system. Businesses that didn't comply could have lost their licenses, permits or contracts with the city.
