Starbucks has shot down rumors that the coffee giant was planning to offer discounts to undocumented American immigrants.

"All undocumented Americans will receive any item on the Starbucks menu 40% off," reads a fake coupon that claimed to promote "Starbucks DREAMer Day" that has been being shared online over the last week.

Seems Starbuck's has been punked by 4chan. Somebody took an image off their Politically Incorrect forum, and ran it as a real Starbuck's add. SB had to issue a denial, because the whole thing is like a Semi News/Semi Satire bit: a little too close to home.

How would they prove they’re “undocumented”?

It is impossible to do satire on this because it is absolutely something they would do. I guarantee, if you went to anyone with a brain in their skull (non-liberal) and said Starbucks was going to give free coffee to illegal immigrants, not a single one would bat an eye.

“It is impossible to do satire on this because it is absolutely something they would do.”

Wait. So they are guilty of it even though they didn’t do it and issued a denial? Lol. Harsh.

Would have been a nice opportunity to catch illegals. For the price of a discounted coffee, one could have deported individuals that otherwise would be unreachable.

Yet if they did it, it could be turned to our favor. Not only would it help with catching and deporting illegals, it would put them at odds with their Left Coast customers - if used to facilitate deportation.

>>>undocumented Americans<<< ????

Isn’t that like saying undocumented Unicorns?

There are only Illegal Invaders. There are no undocumented Americans, undocumented Aliens or undocumented Immigrants.

Immigrants are Invited, Invaders are Repelled.

What kind of documentation do they need to provide to prove that they are undocumented?

No, I did not say that they were guilty of it.

What I said (and have been saying factually about liberal actions and behaviors for nearly a decade) is that it has become increasingly difficult (if not impossible) to satirize.

Do you agree that there is a substantial difference between saying someone is fully capable of doing something versus saying they actually did it?

“””I hope they get a huge group showing up with these coupons”””


And I hope Trump has ordered his ICE agents to stand outside Starbucks to arrest the illegals as they leave disappointed.

That would be a sweet wedge to drive in, wouldn’t it?

What exactly would an Undocumented American Immigrant be, someone from the U.S. in Mexico illegally?
