Assuming the owner KNEW..

How did he pay this guy?
Under the table cash?

Did he knowingly pay him using a stolen/ forged ID?

what about any food certs issued to the employee?

seems like a LOT of fines in this guy’s future.

[Glad2bnuts]

In all of those years he and others did not rectify things with an effort to become a citizen. That tells me, they are not a candidate for a good citizen.

[Flavious_Maximus]

Deport his @ss immediately, along with his anchor baby daughter. OUT, OUT, OUT!

Get out and stand in the back of the line and wait your turn, damn it. /spit

[montag813]

Why can’t they just arrest Ilan Omar for marriage fraud already?

[from occupied ga]

Send ‘em all back. Illegal you go legal you stay. No exceptions just because you’ve been milking the system here for years

[SuperLuminal]

The Port Washington immigrant community is safe from ICE!

The Port Washington migrant-invader community is a bona fide ICE target...

[mass55th]

"Fernando Mejia, the longtime manager of Schmear Bagel & Café in Port Washington..."

More like longtime schemer.

[zeestephen]

Has the "Pillar of Port Washington" been paying Social Security and Income Taxes?

Does he get Earned Income Tax Credits?

Are his family health problems covered by cost free Medicaid?

Is he being paid the prevailing wage?

Is he registered to vote?

Does his daughter get free meals and free education at a public school?

[packrat35]

Bye.

[logi_cal869]

Halfway through the piece, a bit of truth:

“Mr. Mejia was detained based on a warrant of removal/deportation,”

Immediately followed by gaslighting:

I want to speak directly to Port Washington’s immigrant community: you are seen, valued, and supported

Stating the obvious: If he wasn't ILLEGAL, he'd not have been detained.

These leftist pols need a rubber hose treatment every time they lie on the topic.

. “Mejia overstayed a visa 20 years ago..”

In other words he had all the privileges and bounties of living here for 20 years knowing full well he was not supposed to stay. Time to go back.

[NorthMountain]

Mejia overstayed a visa 20 years ago

buhBYE!

[DeplorableTrumpSupporter]

Wait a minute, he is a MEXICAN bagel maker... He should stay since he might be the only one...😀

It would be like a Jewish Taco Maker...😀

[TheThirdRuffian]

A Mexican bagel maker?

Isn’t that cultural appropriation?

I thought leftists opposed that.

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

If you are not here legally, get out.

Nothing follows.
