Federal agents arrested the father-son owners of Chuy's Mesquite Broiler restaurant chain on Wednesday for hiring illegal immigrants and paying them under the table.

Border PING

"Why, those dedicated migrant workers were just doing the jobs Americans won't do!"

[Suz in AZ]

Can’t stand Chuy’s food. Blech. And very noisy.

[in the wind]

Fine them severely and toss’em in the clink for awhile.

[machogirl]

Wonder what Sheriff Dupnik was doing?

[RightGeek]

It’s a start

[szweig]

Chuy’s has excellent, tasty tri-tip and chicken. A few margaritas and chips and salsa on the patio are a great way to pass the time in the Kalifornia afternoon...Stevie666

[Mr Rogers]

Sentence them to working in Chuy’s...and put the hard core ones in Chucky Cheese.

The Feds think they are bashing free enterprise instead of illegal mexicans. But I think it is wonderful. .Any employer that pays a criminal alien for work that one of our 40 million unemployed should be directed to do or lose benefits, should be imprisoned. You need to go to the corporate farms and seize their business is the have any criminals employees. Be double sue you have a US Citizen or we are coming for you.
When the money dries up— those people go back where they belong.

Agree. There’s a right way and there is the easy illegal way so hopefully this is just a start for restaurants. Fast food here in Texas could be there next hit list. Sometimes you have to give your order to two or more people.

Arizona ROCKS!!!

[Don Corleone]

Oh horrors! Now I’ll have to go to one of the other hundred or so Mexican restaurants here in the Old Pueblo.

[AmusedBystander]

Wonder what Sheriff Dupnik was doing?

Ordering his second margarita in Spanish.

I’m sure they would have been left alone if the illegals had phony social security numbers so taxes could be assessed.

[machogirl]

We haven’t heard much of anything the last month or longer from the “good sheriff” of Pima County.

[SandRat]

Crying Tears for his Baja Preisio ArizMexico supporters.

[machogirl]

I’ll bet he wasn’t participating with the Feds.

[SandRat]

Any employer that pays a criminal alien for work that one of our 40 million unemployed should be directed to do or lose benefits, should be imprisoned.

May I suggest the stocks in the Public Square.

[beaversmom]

The company failed to pay at least $400,000 in Federal Insurance Contribution Act (Social Security Medicare) taxes during the course of the time they were being investigated.

I think this was the real problem. If only the illegals had used fake SS#'s then everything would have been okay.

[MIchaelTArchangel]

I hope all three of them get the maximum and they are given union suit prison garb.
