I think it was Sabertooth who suggested that if we had a $50 bounty for each of the illegal aliens WE turned in, they'd self emigrate, back across the border!!!
I forget now where he said this had worked, but I, for one, woulld like to see it enacted. I have some people in mind, to grab and call INS on as soon as I could!
I had a very recent formerly-living in Mexico YELL at me in a McDonald's over an order that I placed but didn't understand her dang accent. I shoved the tray across the counter and left.
No one, much less a damn illegal, yells at me and acts like they think I'M STUPID because I don't understand THEM.
And as I left, I told her that, in my best Andalusian Spanish that I learned while working at Rota Navy Base, in Spain. Take that, you gringa.
HAR! You shudda seen her face.
But as I left, I glanced at the store number and placed a call to McDonald's, to complain about the rude server, and also to ask if they ever bothered to check to see if they were hiring illegals? No answer - just an apology for the rude service and then customer service rep hung up on me. Rude is as rude does.
I will never, ever again darken the door of a dang McD's again.
It seems that unless you speak Spanish, you don't have a chance of getting what you really ordered, so I'll never bother to order in there again.
Besides, Wendy's salads are way better. I only went in because my friend likes to go there. From now on, she goes by herself.
McDonalds contributes to MALDEF, the lawyer advocacy group for illegal rights. They shot down Calif. 187 and are trying their best to destroy Az. prop. 200.
