From down-home delis to upscale bistros, dozens of restaurants nationwide are seeking "sanctuary" status, a designation owners hope will help protect employees in an immigrant-heavy industry and tone down fiery rhetoric sparked by the presidential campaign. First inspired by churches, the label is something cities and other public entities have sought to offer local protections to immigrants living in the U.S. illegally, whether it's barring police from asking citizens about immigration status or refusing to cooperate with federal agents.

Don’t know how reserved got in the title. I did a copy and paste
Any sanctuary restaurant will not get my business.
Having regular raids in your kitchens won’t do much for business, you dummies.
A local Chinese restaurant here was shut down for a month or so after being raided by ICE. Seems they had all wait and cook staff from some foreign country..............
And the restaurants will, either way, try to automate as much as possible. And then what, all the nice little jobless illegal aliens for the rest of us to care for.
No thanks.
Getting “sanctuary” status should require them to post a notice of such on their front door and website so they can be easily boycotted.....
This is an ADMISSION OF GUILT to willfully and knowingly Violate State and Federal Employment Laws. Has the IRS been Notified yet???
Have they began ARRESTING these Owners?
Seized their Assets??
WHY?? They Just ADMITTED TO MULTIPLE FELONIES in their Plea to let Illegal Aliens to continue to live and WORK ILLEGALLY.
If a key component of your business model requires you to break the law on a regular basis then maybe you shouldn’t be in that business.
Sooooo, ... pull the immigration crime leaders resturant permits, ... all of them, .... and tax him Hard, extra Hard!!!
Anyone employing illegal aliens is committing a crime and should be prosecuted.
Anyone shielding illegal aliens from the laws of our country should be charged with harboring illegal aliens, a felony.

It is safer, cheaper and tastes better, don’t have to worry what was ‘unclean’ put in the food, and you won’t die from it or get sick...
Not long ago I was having dinner in an Italian restaurant in my home town of Lafayette, CA with my mother. The owner was speaking Italian to his guests and the food was good, so I asked him where his cooks came from. The answer: Cuernavaca, Mexico!

Sure, go ahead and protect your illegal employees, but they won’t have jobs anyway when you go out of business because real Americans won’t support your law-breaking.
Any insurance companies writing policies for these businesses need their ever loving heads examined.
Precisely. I tire of hearing that businesses x, y and z can’t make it without hiring illegals. I’d make more money, too, if I decided to break the law on a daily basis.
I work in a restaurant in which every single employee speaks English as a first language. The owner has six restaurants and as far as I know, it’s the same in each one. You don’t have to break the law to make it in business.
If you’ve got to break the law to hire lawbreakers because they’re cheap, you need a new business model because that’s clearly unsustainable. Not to mention illegal. Wonder what they’re doing with the required tax withholdings for these people who are outside of the system? That’s a nice little trap they’ve set for themselves.
>>>immigrant-heavy industry<<<
Is there some sort of Mental disorder that prohibits Liberal Journalists from typing the word “ILLEGAL”?
I know, Liberalism IS a Mental Disorder.
Wonder what they’re doing with the required tax withholdings for these people who are outside of the system? That’s a nice little trap they’ve set for themselves.

I recall something about that at one time the FED didn’t really want to ‘crack down’ because the illegals that were hired with phony SS #s and other ID would be working ‘on the clock’ with taxes and FICA coming out and NOBODY had the gonads to ‘claim it’ so the money just laid around (HA HA). Pols don’t really care where the OPM comes from, just so it gets into their hands/under their control.
