too bad the unemployed are too lazy and will not work for minimum pay due to their high living standards.
I think chipotle pays more than minimum wage
The dude was right though:

I'm much more in favor of this type of immigration enforcement than directly going after illegals. That doesn't work because if you deport one, two more just come across the border. Take out their employers, though, and you take out the thing that's bringing them in the first place. I think srs $ should be spent on creating a nation wide e-verify system and on audits of companies to see if they're complying.
If so, are Americans willing to work to eliminate illegal workers if it means paying a lot more to eat out?
Take away that government cheese and they will do it.
Either that or starve to death....again, we are solving problems here.
They're violating several US laws. If we don't put teeth in the laws and enforce them, why bother to have laws in the first place?
its not that simple.
my brother is a GM for a major restaraunt chain.
they generally have *very* legit looking SS cards ETC that 'check out' fine.
suspicion is not enough to not hire them
Yup, more American stupidity in having difficulty determining which hemisphere a country might be in. Don't worry, neither NZ nor Iceland are within American borders, so there's no reason for you to know the difference![]()
That's a great start. If all companies would fire their illegal workers, maybe they'd all go home...do away with the jobs, they should stop coming here.
:thumbsup:
Hit the fuckers where it hurts...in the corporate bottom line and put the officers in prison.
They already pay a lot more at Chipotle but it probably all goes into their expensive "food with a conscience." Ensuring that nothing is factory-farmed and pumped full of hormones is expensive enough and then they do things like ensure that they aren't raised in cages and overcome logistics to get the meat to the stores without ever freezing it.
Because the CEO makes the day to day decision on who to hire in the their 100000000 locations?
Simple, stupid solutions to keep morans at bay. It's the same as the "lets build a big fence" solution to a policy problem that neither left (voter base) or right (cheap labor for biz) will really address.
This way the politicians can go on tv and talk about addressing the issue without doing anything.
I do hate how people make this a personal issue rather a policy issue - talk of "damn illegals" and crap like that really misses the mark. Most of them are hardworking people that just want to have a better life and I personally have hard time blaming them for it; I'd much rather have people willing to pour someone's driveway to 80 bucks than some bitch getting knocked up 8-way to be on the news and collect unemployment.
It is a problem of policy of having a large contingent of unskilled, low income people entering the country though.
Do away with the jobs, and the crime rate increases. Yes jobs drove them here in the first place, but quality of life is overal better for most of them... even without proper work. I'd say a lot of them that are here now would try many OTHER ways to make it out here before going back to Mexico.
And to be clear, I'm not saying this because they're Mexican... I'm saying if you suddenly make life difficult for any group of people they get desperate. A group that large is bound to have a number of them willing to steal if they have to, now that they can't work. They won't get the government help other out of work folk do.
It's one of those cases where I don't like the sheer volume of illegal workers, but they've become so integrated into the country that it may cause more issues if we started doing something about them.
And if they commit crimes they will end up in prison. Which is still probably better than where they came from so it's win win for them. Americans get to keep their jobs, and illegals get to have a better life in prison or go home. Everybody wins when employers like Chipotle act responsibly.

All it takes is 1 decision from the top.
Every chipotle i have been to in the Denver metro area had people working that could not speak english.
Exactly. A single memo to all "If you do not verify employment eligibility with all diligence you will be terminated immediately. If you do not report violations of eligibility you will be terminated immediately. If you knowingly hire an illegal, you will be terminated immediately. If you do not follow these rules your franchise agreement will be revoked immediately.
Signed,
The Boss"
Done. Problem solved.
What prisons? They're all damn near full. They'll max them out, maybe put up some more, so taxes get upped. Plus there's all the people the mexicans committed crime against... so really the only people who win are the ones causing the issue.
With the foreign workers who have long done the dirty work in Maryland's seafood industry held up by red tape, desperate owners of the Eastern Shore's processing plants are investigating a new source of crab pickers: state prisoners.
...But Maryland law would allow it; inmates already do jobs that include making furniture and butchering meat in the state's prisons.
