What are the immediate impacts of undocumented immigration on Fremont, Nebraska, and how do these impacts manifest in quantifiable terms?

In Fremont, Nebraska, an influx of undocumented immigrants, primarily employed in meatpacking plants, has led to increased strain on public services and rising property taxes. Council member Paul Von Behren cites a rise in crime, including child rape cases involving undocumented individuals, and a significant increase in traffic violations by those without licenses or insurance. These factors contribute to higher taxes, exceeding income growth by a substantial margin.
