Gov Jim Pillen (R-NE) is a lot like Donald Trump in that he badly wants immigrants rounded up, stashed in concentration camps, and sent home... unless, of course, they work for him.

Republicans always have different rules for themselves...especially if they're rich. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/09/u...
