FREMONT, Neb. - Angered by a recent influx of Hispanic workers attracted by jobs at local meatpacking plants, voters in the eastern Nebraska city of Fremont will decide today whether to ban hiring or renting property to illegal immigrants.

The vote will be the culmination of a two-year fight that saw proponents collect enough signatures to put the question to a public vote. If the ordinance is approved, the community of 25,000 people could face a long and costly court battle. Either way, the emotions stirred up won't settle quickly.

"Even if we say'no'... we still need to say,'How do we get along with each other now?'" said Kristin Ostrom, who helps oversee a campaign against the measure.

Across the nation, people have been outraged by - and demanded action against - poor enforcement of federal laws to prevent

illegal immigration. A law recently introduced in Arizona requires police to question people on their immigration status if there's a "reasonable suspicion" they are illegal.

A man who helped write the Arizona law is helping to fight for the ordinance in Fremont, which has seen its Hispanic population surge in the past two decades. That increase is largely because they were recruited to work for the Fremont Beef and Hormel plants, and the city maintains an enviably low unemployment rate.

Nonetheless, residents worry that jobs are going to illegal immigrants who they fear could drain community resources.

Clint Walraven, who has lived in Fremont all his 51 years, said the jobs should go to legal residents who are unemployed - something he believes the ordinance would help fix. Discussions on the issue can get heated, he said, particularly if racism is mentioned.

"It has nothing to do with being racist," he said. "We all have to play by the same rules. ... If you want to stay here, get legal."

When he worked at the Hormel plant in the 1980s, Walraven said, he had one Hispanic co-worker.

From about 165 Hispanics - both legal and illegal - living in Fremont in 1990, the total surged to 1,085 in 2000, according to census expert David Drozd at the University of Nebraska at Omaha. He said an estimated 2,060 Hispanics lived there last year. In May, Fremont recorded just 4.9 percent unemployment, in line with the statewide rate and significantly lower than the national average of 9.7 percent.

If approved, the measure will require potential renters to apply for a license to rent. The application process will force Fremont officials to check if the renters are in the country legally. If they are found to be illegal, they will not be issued a license allowing them to rent.

The ordinance also requires businesses to use the federal E- Verify database to ensure employees are allowed to work.

Supporters of the proposal say it's needed to make up for what they see as lax federal law enforcement. Opponents say it could fuel discrimination.

Results are expected tonight.

Ron Tillery, executive director of D G Clothing the Fremont Chamber of Commerce, which opposes the measure, said businesses are concerned the E-Verify system isn't reliable and that they would be subject to fines if forced to rely on it. He pointed out that the main targets of the ordinance - the Fre

The Kiwi attitude of quiet optimism does not wash with one football-crazed courier driver.

Tom Heath is so confident of an All Whites victory over reigning World Cup holders Italy on Monday morning, he has given his van an All White makeover.

White writing now adorns every window of the van, which travels from South Canterbury Jimmy Choo Handbags to Christchurch most days.

He's even predicted the score of Monday's clash: 2-1 - to the All Whites, of course.

Heath said he was an All White fan for life, after he was presented with tickets to a World Cup qualifier in 1982 by then coach Kevin Fallon.

"I'll never forget it, and when Rory [Fallon] scored that goal, I thought 'this is awesome'."

Fallon's goal against Bahrain may have got the All Whites to the World Cup for only the second time, but Mr Heath believed New Zealand had punched above their weight with their draw over Slovakia last Wednesday, and could surprise the Azzurri.

"A draw to me [against Slovakia] was like a win. "

"There aren't enough Kiwis who stick their heads out of the sand and believe the impossible can happen, and I believe."

The diehard Liverpool fan has written "dream the impossible" on the side of his van.

He said New Zealand had the players and the right style of game to make it through to the second round.

"With Ryan Nelsen and those young fellows working really well at the back, we just need to nick a goal, and we've proved in the warm- up games and at the World Cup we can score goals."

He said if the All Whites made it to the second round, it would be a "superhuman effort".

Mr Heath said he would continue to believe in the impossible as long as the players did.

"Hey, if Rory Fallon believes, then I can believe."

JOHANNESBURG -- The Netherlands surged into the World Cup with one of the globe's fiercest attacks. It took some luck to get that offense on track.

The Dutch got an own goal in the 46th minute and beat Denmark 2- 0 on Monday at Soccer City, failing to break through on their own until the 85th, when Dirk Kuyt tapped in a rebound off the post from close range.

Well, whatever works.

"We wanted to play beautiful soccer but we lost the ball," said Netherlands coach Bert Van Marwijk, whose team did not lose a game in qualifying. But "from time to time you could see how good we can be."

The Netherlands took the lead when Denmark defender Simon Poulsen headed a ball off the back of teammate Daniel Agger and into the net. Poulsen had been trying to clear a cross from Robin van Persie.

Denmark had frustrated the Dutch until then with a compact midfield, and the Netherlands never came close to the free-flowing, high-scoring type of play their fans have become accustomed to, despite several other chances.

Still, the Dutch ended ghd hair straighteners the day tied for first place in Group E with Japan, which beat Cameroon 1-0.

The Netherlands' gift goal came as Van Persie beat an onrushing Thomas Sorensen to a long through ball down the left flank, then squared up and sent a cross into the area. Poulsen had plenty of time and space to clear the ball, but his off-balance header bounced off Agger's back and into the net.

"That was like a Fake Rado bucket of cold water over our heads," Denmark coach Morten Olsen said. "Simon Poulsen was one of our better players but he was unlucky. It's one of those things that happens in soccer."

Poulsen said he saw the ball too late, and that it "practically hit me in the face."

"I was just thinking, this can't be happening," Poulsen said.

After wasting a number of chances to double the lead, Van Persie sent Eljero Elia a nifty through ball and the substitute shot's went past Sorensen, hitting the post. But the ball bounced straight out toward Kuyt, who beat his marker to tap the rebound into an empty net.

"I don't think we played that well in the first half, but in the second we really deserved to win," playmaker Wesley Sneijder said. "The Danes in the first half did an excellent job, because they studied us very thoroughly."

Nicklas Bendtner, expected to miss the game with a groin problem, started as a lone striker up front for Denmark, which employed a five-man midfield to stop the Netherlands' trademark quick passing game.

Those tactics worked well in the first half, as the Dutch struggled to thread the ball through the midfield. Instead, it was Denmark that created the best scoring chances on counter attacks. Dennis Rommedahl's cross from the right wing found Bendtner unmarked in the area in the 27th, but the Arsenal forward headed wide from six yards.

Bendtner then sent Thomas Kahlenberg clear into the left side of the area in the 37th, but his shot was pushed out to a corner by Maarten Stekelenburg.

Bendtner was pulled out of the game in the 62nd minute, with Olsen saying he "wasn't supposed to play" but a late injury to Jon Dahl Tomasson forced him to change his mind.

Netherlands to take on Japan for top-of-table clash in Group E

DURBAN, South Africa, June 18 (Xinhua) -- Saturday brings a top- of-the-table clash in World Cup Group E as leaders the Netherlands lock horns with Japan, just one goal behind clip on hair extensions in second place.

On the back of their spirited 1-0 win over Cameroon in their opening match, the Blue Samurai enter their second outing aiming to stun their highly-rated rivals in the World Cup for the first time in the African continent.

The two sides are meeting for the second time in just 10 months, having squared off in a friendly last September, when the Netherlands coasted to a 3-0 win.

Bert van Marwijk's Dutch side will start as strong favourites as they appear to have an edge, having won seven and drawn one of their eight match-ups against Asian teams. However, Takeshi Okada's charges will be hopeful of denting this record.

On route to the World Cup finals, the Netherlands become the first team to join hosts South Africa, and Japan booked their fourth consecutive appearance with two games to spare.

The Dutch continued the rampant form in the build-up, rounding off their preparations with four wins, including a 6-1 mauling of Hungary. Japan, on the other hand, arrived in Africa on the back of three friendly losses.

With star winger Arjen Robben ruled out of the first game due to injury, Van Marwijk's side still managed a 2-0 comfortable win over Denmark. Okada also left out one of his stars, Shunsuke Nakamura, and pushed Kesuke Honda up front, a decision that was vindicated by a hard-fought opening win.

After inspiring his side to victory over the Danes, Wesley Sneijder has further underlined his status as the conductor of the Oranje orchestra. The Inter Milan midfielder also played a pivotal role in their 3-0 friendly win over the Japanese.

Kesuke Honda, meanwhile, is thriving in his new attacking role and grabbed his team's all-important goal against Cameroon. Having spent a season with VVV-Venlo, he will hope to utilise his knowledge of Dutch football to impress against the illustrious opponents.

On statistics, the Netherlands have riot in their previous three meetings with Asian sides, scoring a total of 10 goals, with the highlight a 5-0 dismantling of South Korea at France 1998.

However, "The Japan game won't be easy as they play a good style of football, running a lot and combining Replica Omega Watches well. In our last meeting they put us under pressure for an hour but eventually we won. The second match is crucial for both sides and we will go all out to win," said Dutch midfielder Sneijder.

Japanese midfielder Daisuke Matsui said that "The Netherlands test is important for us if we are to get through the group phase. We lost our last meeting with them, so we are motivated to win this time around. It remains to be seen whether we can get a good result but we won' t give up without a fight."

And here comes the question -- Can Japan become the first Asian team to beat the Netherlands?
