It's come to this: according to some, people should be picking their casual dining choices based on their politics.
NPR published an opinion piece by writer Monique Truong that claims in the headline that it is "hypocrisy" for administration members who support President Trump's way of handling the long-ignored border crisis to eat at Mexican restaurants. These are people who work for the president, of course, so they are essentially being taken to task for doing their jobs.
Truong considers recent forays to Mexican food dining establishments by administration policy adviser Stephen Miller and Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen to be a "spectacle" that is "utterly galling to many Americans who object" to the recent policy of dealing with felony immigration offenders, which the president ended this week.
Truong acknowledges the pervasiveness of "Mexican-inspired" food in the United States. I'm from Tucson, it's not called "Mexican food" here, it's just "food." She concedes that it is now part of the "American table" but sternly lectures that we should be "appalled" that people who aren't on board with open borders and illegal immigration should choose to spend their hard-earned money at a Mexican restaurant. Her tortured logic asserts that since Mexican restaurants have "back-of-the-house" staff that "came from Mexico or Central America, with or without documents," people who oppose illegal immigration are experiencing a "disconnect" when dining at these establishments.
Picture of the owners of the restaurant shows (purportedly) that the owners are not even Mexicans........
Time for NPR to be defunded as it is anti MAGA!
Oh,come on.
Were we supposed to stop eating Italian food during WWII?
.
Shhhh ... i hear a whiney self-righteous Progressive douchebag lurk....
Is that the best NPR can do? How insulting to Mexicans here legally and those who are now legally citizens. Are they trying to destroy their businesses? Those rightfully here should be enraged!
I wonder how many of FDRs people stopped eating at Italian restaurants in WW2; how many stopped eating at German restaurants; how many stopped eating at the restaurants of so called “neutral” countries???
Oh please how desperate.
It’s called the rule of law NPR.
We are either a country of laws or we are not.
You don’t get to cherry pick which laws you want to ignore. It does not work that way.
Again we are either a country of laws or we are not.
DEFUND NPR. Time to make them compete on their own!
...and NPR neglected to mention that mexicans, both legal and illegal, are hypocrites for eating at American Fast food restaurants...
The most abundant things in the universe:
Hydrogen and NPR variety of stupidity!
And if the “Trump staffers” announced they were giving up Mexican food?????? WELL MSM???
It’s not hypocritical at all.
If they were racist, then they would not eat at Mexican Restaurants.
The fact they are proves they are not racist and only believe in the rule of law.
NPR = LEFTIST PROPAGANDISTS
They're losing. They're getting nervous that November's "blue wave" isn't going to happen. They're desperate.
Scheiss.
And BTW, it’s a German word, so the spelling of one who does it is “Scheisster”, not “shyster” and all the other spellings people attempt.
If it’s known they’re using illegales... Otherwise what’s the problem. If we can’t screen what’s coming in, we get forced into having to say no to all.
This is SOOOO much anathama to the priciples of the Free Market, well espoused by Milton Freedman. He makes a very poignant point that all the varied contributors to a product in the marketplace is, and must be for an orderly society, made without regard to politics.
What do you expect from lying child pimping staffer at Nations Panhandler Radio.
But the common wisdom is you are a racist despite having black friends, so why does where one eats make a difference?
Usually Mexicans do not consider authentic the “Mexican food” prepared here in the United States, for us is hybrid, but still it seems tasty and we consume, although the ingredients are “gringos “ :D
Any comment from NPR automatically goes in my mental spam folder.
They should not exist, period. After the 2020 landslide, they need to be gone.
Agreed wonder when DNC types will start openly advocating vio!hence?
Bull. They are Mexican food restaurants often run by Americans of Mexican descent or at least LEGAL. So the crazies are telling us to not eat at such establishments? They want those businesses ruined?
