Re: Chipotle getting introuble highering illegal aliens
Illegal-immigration crackdown on Chipotle restaurants could hurt workers, activist says | L.A. NOW | Los Angeles Times
I bet the quality of their food goes down when the gringos try and cook that stuff. I knew someone that worked for me once who was one of the hardest workers at my store. One day I came in and he wasn't there anymore. He lost his job and I thought it was fucked up he couldn't work there any more. I could have picked a bunch of people I would have liked to disappear other than that guy. Is it right to just fire these people?
It's hard for a right wing extremist such as myself to say this, but I don't see any benefit in firing or deporting working illegals. In the case of Chipotle, I'm sure they're paying all the employment taxes, and workmens' comp, etc... AND, I'm sure the illegals they hired, showed what appeared to be valid ID and papers. As you said, the quality will likely go down, if they hire Americans. It's just a different work ethic, sadly.
Bottom line is that whatever gets done (if anything, ever does), about illegal immigrants flooding into our country, I am leaning toward the idea of amnesty for those already here, and already working, and without any trouble or criminal records (here or in their home country). Shut off the flood gate first!!!!!
I have a few friends who are or were here illegally, and they're perfectly good people who couldn't get through the red tape. One got deported to Germany, and the other got refused a new work visa because she missed a date to file something. She got sent back to Belgium. The Mexican illegal immigrants I know, are all still here, and all still working.
