Fremont residents get OK for immigration petition
By The Associated Press
FREMONT — Some residents in Fremont are moving ahead with a plan for a special election on a proposal targeting illegal immigrants.
Residents have gotten approval from City Clerk Kim Volk to circulate a petition to force a special election on a proposal to prohibit the harboring of — including renting to — and hiring illegal immigrants.
City Attorney Dean Skokan says the petition is similar to a proposed ordinance that failed to win City Council approval last month.
Petition organizers had to get approval from the city clerk before circulating the petition.

Any reference to this being like Germany is lunacy. We are not deporting and murdering millions of innocent residents when we take steps to reduce the illegal alien population and activity. This country need to systematically stop making it easy for an illegal alien to work and reside here. "
