Paying them in cash because
No trail or taxes paid time for Yung Lau to pay up.
MMMMM. Illegal migrant sushi.
Where can I gets me some?!
Since race discrimination in hiring is illegal you would think that all the white and native born black employees in these ethic restaurants would turn these Mexican and Oriental businesses in.
Just kidding.

Let me translate: ILLEGAL ALIEN INVADERS
They aren’t here against their will. They are here working for the trafficker against their will.
Basically the trafficker makes a deal with them to pay to smuggle them in, in return they have to work for them for a certain number of years to pay it back (kind of live indentured servitude agreements).
Usually they end up working more hours and in worse conditions than the original agreement, and get room and board deducted at higher prices from the debt and other forms of getting taken advantage of, but because they are illegal and don’t speak English, they don’t have the ability to complain.
A little late to this party. This has been going on for some time, and one of the restaurants is around the corner from me. No one suspected this was going on. I guess good sushi is hard to find, especially in AZ.
Funny thing is, after all the arrests and the like, the restaurants are back open and operating like normal right now. Have been for a few weeks.
