I know many here including conservatives mostly who make a strong effort not to use anyone who hires illegals...even if it cost more.
I have begun to insist on it with my general contractors but the illegals and their leaders have caught on....fake documents are everywhere.
They flash Drivers Licenses and claim citizenship.
I know some early Mexican immigrants here who started restaurants 25 years ago in Middle Tenn. They will tell you that at least 70% of the hispanics in Middle Tenn are illegal or on expired paper. I would guess that is over 100,000. And Hispanics are not the only groups here. The Nigerians and some Asians are known to harbour illegals too. I know a fair number of Kurds, Russians, Serbs and Croats and they tend to be legal.
One who owns a chain of restaurants here remarked to me that he left Mexico to escape this. I then asked him if there were any illegals in his kitchens? You could hear a pin drop.
Are you disappointed with their work?
Is the food bad where you frequent that mexican restaurant?
Brave of you, but I would be careful about checking your food carefully the next time you are there...
