Too bad this is missing from the article:

"Local police parked their paddy wagons outside each restaurant, ready to take the law-breaking illegal aliens to jail."

And this sentence needs a change:

Should the investigations uncover widespread disregard of immigration laws, co-chief executives Steve Ells and Monty Moran could face criticism jail time for allowing the practice to spread through the 1,100-unit U.S. operation.

Why spend our money jailing the guys on the burrito line -- at tens of thousands of dollars a head by the time they're deported. Make it effectively illegal to employ illegal aliens and all you'll need is a $50 bus ticket and a handshake. Enforcement targeting anyone other than employers is a waste of time and money.
