Fremont's immigrant plan would ban hiring, too
FREMONT — A proposed law that would prohibit renting to or harboring illegal immigrants in Fremont, Neb., would now ban hiring as well.
The revised ordinance under consideration by the Fremont City Council now calls for businesses in the city to use an Internet-based system to verify they aren’t employing illegal immigrants.
Under the proposal, the council would have the authority to revoke a business license, permit or contract or recall a grant or accelerate loan payments of a business found in violation.
The ordinance is scheduled for discussion at the council’s meeting Tuesday.
A final vote is scheduled for Aug. 26.
