Details Emerge About ShopHouse, Chipotle's New Chain

I think it's laughable and sad that people assume that mexican fast food restaurants are all staffed with illegal mexicans. Of course nowadays if you are brown skinned and speak spanish your automatically illegal, even if you speak perfect english. It's refreshing to see racism alive and well and targetting a different group than mine for a change (spoken with lots of sarcasm).

Kindly refrain from your racist assumptions unless you have access to true facts.

If you do have said facts, please, post them, so we can see them.

If not, keep your trap shut.

Thank you kindly,

"Wolfie" (Kris)

My Reply to Wolfie and Ethan: If you "foodies" read REAL news, instead of "how to stuff your face", you both would learn what is REALLY happening, in the REAL WORLD. As to my "trap", I'll excercise my U.S. Constitional Right's to the limit. In short, READ THE NEWS!! You are on the computer, type Chipotle I.C.E. then click. As to me being called a racist, ---for relaying the TRUTH of I.C.E immigrationChipotle work-place---- arrests, of Chipotle employees, that ARE FACTULLY TRUE, of ILLEGAL Mexicans, just shows that, YOU BOTH are the REAL ----RACISTS, NOT ME!!!!

The Mexican food chain, which serves gut-busting burritos, tacos and tortilla-less burrito bowls in nearly 1,100 locations across the U.S., fired hundreds of workers in Minnesota recently amid a probe by immigration authorities.

The workers were let go after an audit by the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agency (ICE) revealed that workers at some of the 50 restaurants across the state had turned in phony-looking I-9 forms, which verify that a worker is eligible to work in the U.S.

The probe is widening to Washington, D.C. and Virginia and the company may have to boot workers from some of the 60 locations there if investigators find more evidence of I-9 fraud

Not because there might be illegals working there (oh god forbid), but because they were once owned by McDonalds who spun them off and are now the controlling interest. They say their meat is "Natural" which means nothing, you can call anything natural. Since they were owned by McDonalds my guess is their meat comes from CAFO's, which is wrong and completely disgusting. If I found out that their meat didn't come from CAFO's and was in fact organic or at least farmed in a clean and sustainable way, I would go back.

I would gladly eat at Chipotle as often if not more than I do now (2 times a week) knowing full well that I am supporting hardworking people trying to make a better life for themselves.

In other words, I don't care about what you say Dan. The fact alone that these "Illegals" aren't online spewing the same failed circular logic coupled with fascistic nationalism and ignorant slandering as you, makes them more desirable anyways.
