“Kid Rock’s Big Ass Honky Tonk Rock N’ Roll Steakhouse”

We are closer to Idiocracy than I thought.

[hal ogen]

So investigate this business for illegally hiring illegal alien invaders...and messing with paying taxes, SS and so forth. That will give a message to those businesses that support these creeps. The businesses that do this deserve a “slap in the face”.

[dfwgator]

He’s no conservative, then.

[RinaseaofDs]

These news stories: Am I supposed to be sad for the owner because he’s breaking the law?

[packagingguy]

If your business model relies on breaking the law you should reconsider that model.

[PGR88]

Why are businesses also not pursued and fined for employing illegals?

A (Mexican) restaurant owner in our area was caught 10 years ago employing about 12 illegals. He was required to pay the taxes on their work income and promise not to do it again.

That’s it.

Now he owns 4 restaurants in our area.

[No name given]

Exactly.

[No name given]

At all.

IIRC: THE FINE FOR HIRING ILLEGALS IS $5000 PER DAY PER EMPLOYEE.

5 DAYS WORK WEEK==$25,000 A WEEK

START WITH THOSE FINES-—WORK YOUR WAY UP...

“Kid Rock’s Big Ass Honky Tonk Rock N’ Roll Steakhouse”

Out of pure curiosity I had to take a look,

Pretty run of the mill chain menu. Very safe and boring.
Wings, nachos, burgers, hot dogs, chicken, and 5 steak cuts.

Nothing bigg ass, honky tonk, or rock and roll about it.

Liberals: always saying in ten mushy words what could be conveyed in a single concise word.

"...relies directly on employing immigrants not authorized to work in the United States"

Liberal Requirement #1: Never, EVER write or say "Illegal alien."

[FlingWingFlyer]

Bass turds putting illegal aliens ahead of Americans. Screw them. Americans need to boycott these joints.

[ArcadeQuarters]

So hire Anericans. Is that so terrible?

[Kleon]

The burger on the front page looks absolutely horrible.

[Ikeon]

Who’s gonna cook our food? High schoolers on summer vacation. Instead of mom and dad paying for their summer vacation at the beach and all the booze they can drink. Send them to work.

[Mathews]

Good. Now hire Americans!!

[ridesthemiles]

CHARGE THEM ALSO: AIDING/ABETTING/HARBORING

[delchiante]

Nothing bigg ass, honky tonk, or rock and roll about it.
......

That might describe some employees and the atmosphere, though...

[Robert DeLong]

Recent panic at his restaurants indicates that his own Broadway empire — and the wealth it has generated — relies directly on employing immigrants not authorized to work in the United States.

Sounds like he is a TSINO (Trump supporter in name only). Color me unimpressed or concerned about his problem.

In fact, I couldn't care less if his businesses close for good, if he is unable to find Americans to do the jobs to run his businesses, because there are Americans who are willing to do the work. He gets no pass because he claims to support Trump, but then goes against everything that Trump is doing.
