Mass Deportation Works: American Workers Rush to Fill Jobs Once Taken by Illegal Aliens in Nebraska

ICE raid inside Omaha’s Glenn Valley food processing plant

The mainstream media and Democrat politicians have long insisted that mass deportations would cripple the American economy.

But the reality unfolding in Nebraska tells a starkly different story—one that demolishes the Left’s open-border talking points and affirms what millions of Americans already know: Mass deportation works.

On Tuesday, federal immigration authorities executed a massive raid at Glenn Valley Foods, arresting 76 illegal workers who had no business being in our country, let alone our workforce.

The Department of Homeland Security confirmed the operation targeted a large-scale scheme of employing aliens without legal work authorization.

By Friday, over a dozen of those detained were already deported or transferred, with 63 others held at Lincoln County Detention Center. Sheriff Jerome Kramer noted none are “violent offenders,” but let’s be clear: they broke our laws, and they’re paying the price.

After a major ICE raid at Glenn Valley Foods in Omaha, job-seeking U.S. citizens wasted no time filling the void.

According to NBC News, every seat in the plant’s waiting area was filled with prospective new hires, just 48 hours after federal agents cleared out the illegals.

Let that sink in: despite claims that “Americans won’t do these jobs,” Nebraskans lined up around the block for a chance to work.

NBC News reported:

Every seat in the waiting area of Glenn Valley Foods was occupied with people filling out job applications early Thursday afternoon, two days after the meatpacking plant became the center of the largest worksite immigration raid in the state of Nebraska so far this year.

Dozens of prospective employees, many of them Spanish speakers, had been coming in and out of the plant all day. Some were hoping to land a new job; others were coming in for training.

The scene gave the company’s president, Chad Hartmann, a glimmer of hope amid the chaos that ensued after Tuesday’s raid purged roughly half of his staff — many of whom had been longtime employees of the company, which has been processing boxed beef for more than 15 years.

Hartmann had never seen or experienced a raid before. He is finding out in real time that “there’s no playbook” on how to move forward after one, Hartmann told NBC News.
