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.
Yeah, and I’m German and my mother and me make some of the greatest meat marinara you’ll ever have! (Didn’t hurt her best friend from childhood is Italian). People adore it. Guess it’s not possible though.
Is he saying all Mexicans are here illegally? Or is he saying all the owners of Mexican food restaurants are here illegaly?
This is part of the “racist” paint brush, not buying it.
Nothing truer was ever stated.
I’ve been asking for years why they don’t just leave for a better worker’s paradise?
What if they go to Willy’s, Moe’s or Chipotle? Does that count, since none of them are owned by a Mexican?
Miguel’s in San Diego is owned by a gringo. Mike Morton.
Does this mean that we can’t eat Mexican style cuisine any more? Oy vey! They just opened a second kosher Mexican food restaurant out my way. Does that mean we shouldn’t patronize it because we support legal immigration only?
Should we be eating more pizza to support Italy's economic crisis?

So NPR thinks all legal Mexican immigrants are the same as illegal aliens?
Wow...
In the DC area (I lived there for 3.5 years), I doubt if more than 10-percent of the Mexican restaurants are owned by real Mexicans....probably 80-percent are owned by gringo-Americans. There was one over in Arlington for a while that was some Salvadoran guy running it. There probably ought to be some rule....Mexican food restaurants can only be run by Mexicans....not Hondurans or Salvadorans.
Conservatives can eat where they damn well pease. We don’t need liberals to lecture us on hypocrisy.
Makes me wonder what nation the N in NPR refers to.

Tell Mexicans to ‘check’ their urge to steal from OUR CULTURE. They can keep their damn fried beans if they're willing to drop OUR technology... eff 'em..
Oh no! Does this mean I can’t eat at Taco Bell anymore? Horrors.
NPR=Yawn. Should be defunded. Or, if the gvt doesn’t want to defund NPR, let them fund FR. Even Steven :)
NPR: Work for one of our stations? Had a stroke on the job? Cleared by physicians to return to work? Guess what, you’re fired anyway!
If you had been illegal, we might have had some sympathy for you.
Isn’t calling restaurants Mexican racist by these thought Nazis definition?
No...but they are not allowed to eat “Patriot” food. The most disgusting and pathetic thing about npr is that taxpayers pay them for their sedition.
