From the Daily Mail: "Taco chain forced to shut seven restaurants after workers are detained by ICE." From the headline, you might think that ICE raided the restaurants, but that is not what happened. Rather, the 46 workers were caught in a raid on just two (!) homes where they lived. It's just coincidence (wink, wink) that the 46 all lived in those two residences. The owners of the restaurants claim they didn't know the workers were illegals. They are under investigation by the IRS for paying workers in cash, "under the table". But, Cesar Rodriguez, director of operations for chain, assures us that accusations that the chain was involved in drug smuggling and child trafficking is "just ridiculous".
Good. Put the owners in chains.
ReplyDeleteAt some point they are going to have to start making examples of those that hire illegals.
