pandering to the cow milking illegals

A Jewish man and woman in upstate New York claim they were kicked out of a Mexican restaurant Sunday due to their support for presumptive GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump.
According to The New York Post, Esther Levy, along with retired local judge Alvin Goldstein, showed up at the Cancun Inn restaurant in Orange County wearing the Trump campaign’s “Make America Great Again” hat and a Trump button. Despite claiming to have ordered two sangrias from a waitress without issue, Levy told The Post that the waitress returned saying she had been told to deny Levy and Goldstein service.
“I was shocked,” Levy told The Post.
As they were leaving the restaurant, Levy claimed a man identifying himself as a co-owner of the restaurant yelled at them for supporting Trump, which Levy said was humiliating.
“He said, ‘We don’t serve Trump supporters here. Get out of here and never come back,’” she said.
Trump’s repeated attacks on what he sees as uncontrolled illegal immigration from Mexico to the U.S. — as well as his campaign promise to build a large border wall paid for by Mexico — have led to low numbers of support for Trump within Hispanic communities. According to a recent poll by Public Policy Polling, presumptive Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton leads Trump among Hispanics 82 to 13.
However, the restaurant posted Monday on its Facebook page claiming the couple were asked to leave because they were intoxicated and were being rude to staff and rowdy. Since the incident, the Cancun Inn Facebook page has been covered with pro-Trump comments on several posts by the restaurant, some of which are more than a year old.
Monday’s post also said that owners Israel and Mario Campos are working to look into the incident further. Levy, who disagrees with the restaurant’s description of the incident, said she had been a loyal customer at the Cancun Inn restaurant for nearly 25 years and claimed to be friendly with one of the owners.
“I certainly won’t be back there,” Goldstein said. “It was horrific what happened. I’m not used to being thrown out of restaurants.”
Goldstein is not alone. Several commenters joined in attacking the restaurant for allegedly booting Levy for her Trump attire, promising to boycott the restaurant. Rabbi Bernhard Rosenberg, leader of Congregation Beth-El in New Jersey and a Trump supporter, also told The Post he would be spreading word of the incident to fight what he sees as growing anti-Trump persecution.
“This is going on all over the country,” he said. “People need to know that we are not going to stand for it. Enough is enough. We have a right to support him.”
Last week, a judge refused to throw out Trump’s lawsuit against celebrity chef Jose Andres whose restaurant was planned for the new Trump International Hotel in Washington, D.C. Andres pulled out of the deal following what he called Trump’s “inflammatory rhetoric” on immigration, which led Trump to sue Andres for breach of contract.
Several Republicans, including Speaker of the House Paul Ryan, criticized Trump’s recent attack on federal judge Gonzalo Curiel as racist. Trump said Curiel was too biased to rule on a lawsuit involving Trump University, a now-defunct for-profit university developed by Trump, because he is a “Mexican.” Curiel is an American citizen born in Indiana.
New York has Mexican restaurants?
Dallas-area Mexican chain Mi Cocina has been targeted by protesters for supporting Trump.

It certainly sounds like they were. Doesn't appear being Jewish had anything to do with it.
I think it is time for the tax payers to deny service to illegals.
Put the military on the border.
Dept. of Justus, strangely enough, not interested in suing restaurant out of business.
What has their religion have to do with it?

De facto discrimination. Disparate impact. Something. With all of the rulings that have been issued by the courts in discrimination cases, there must be a cause of action from one legal theory or another. Intent doesn’t matter anymore.
I would hire Alan Dershowitz to to file a lawsuit and sue the tacos out of them.
You’re worried about this when many dozens where physically attacked and assaulted for simple attending a rallies?
Come on.
Another distortion of the facts. Judge Curiel, together with his former law firm, has a history with the activist and racist La Raza organization and its lawyer offshoot. The judge by prior actions in the lawsuit plus his affiliations has shown himself unworthy to be in charge and hear the Trump lawsuit, and should remove himself or be removed.
A judge?
Something tells me they might have made a grave error.

““I certainly won’t be back there,” Goldstein said. “It was horrific what happened. I’m not used to being thrown out of restaurants.””
The difference between the Right and the Left, Same thing happens to the gays and they are back there every day demanding to be catered to,
The restaurant has made a series of grave errors.
The restaurant had a post on its facebook page. It claimed that the woman and the judge were intoxicated!! Big mistake on their part. LOL They might as well close their doors now.
What does the fact that the lady is Jewish have to do with them being evicted from the restaurant?
I had the same question. Would anybody lead an article by saying “A Methodist couple” or a “A Catholic couple”? Strange.
