Nebraska governor under fire for racist exclusion of undocumented workers in vaccine rollout

Lincoln, January 7 (RHC)-- In the U.S. state of Nebraska, Governor Pete Ricketts has come under fire after saying undocumented workers at meatpacking plants will not be eligible to receive the coronavirus vaccine.

Gov. Pete Ricketts told reporters: “You’re supposed to be a legal resident of the country to be able to be working in those plants, so I do not expect that illegal immigrants will be part of the vaccine with that program.”

Workers in meatpacking plants have suffered some of the nation’s worst outbreaks.  An estimated 14% or more of Nebraska’s meatpacking workers are undocumented.
