Brenda Ray, who has lived in the Fremont area for 40 years, said she noted the change in the city’s population and voted for the ordinance back in 2010. She said she doesn’t “have a problem” with the Central American arrivals “if they are legal and they come in to speak American English.”

She wishes the rule, known as Ordinance 5165, “accomplished more,” but still supports it.

“It’s something that we have in our toolbox,” she said. “If we have a big problem we can fall back on it.”

In short, "I saw a lot of brown people move in, and I didn't like it. I wish we were able to me more cruel to them, but there's hope for that in the future." What an absolute ghoul.
