First, they called it racist to require all voters show identification before casting ballots.
Now they’re calling it racist for a company to require that employees honestly and truthfully complete employment applications.
A local group fighting for immigrant rights is calling for a boycott of two nationally known companies. Dunkin Donuts and Applebee’s are accused of discriminating against immigrant workers whose names don’t match their social security numbers.
Amazing. So we should demand that companies no longer ask candidates to be honest on their job applications? What could possibly go wrong there?
“It looks to me like its racism,” said Emma Lozano, Pueblo Sin Fronteras.
Everything looks like racism to these people.

I look at this situation like a Pot Luck Dinner. These mexican folks are coming to our party with a truck load of bean dip, enchiladas, tortas, tacos and burritos. They also invited their cousins, uncles, aunts, tias, tios, abuelas and abuelos, and of course none of these people were invited, and they all eat from what we brought to the party.
And the very second one of us reaches for a burrito they brought over suddenly we’re racist and bigoted. Well guess what?
I like burritos. I like tacos. And I personally feel that if you were invited to the party, by all means you should show up AND spread whatever wealth you have to offer. But, by the same token, your entire extended f-ing family was not invited. And since they don’t speak english and for some selfish reason refuse to learn english, refuse to contribute to our society, and refuse to become part of our culture, they should be kicked out immediately.

Emma, dishonest people don’t qualify as a race. Neither do illegal immigrants, unless you are racially profiling illegals yourself.

[…] First, they called it racism… now they’re trying to call it criminal. A Mississippi Democrat in line to become chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee has warned the nation’s largest uniform supplier it faces criminal charges if it follows a White House proposal to recheck workers with mismatched Social Security numbers and fire those who cannot resolve the discrepancy in 60 days.

Piper,
On a global scale You are the minority and eventually this will be the case in the U.S. You’re just so scared that you might actually have to really earn your position in life, that you will actually have to sweat a little. Also, no one wants to become a part of Your culture, because you have none; microwave dinners and trailer parks Ha! People like you used to disgust me, I mean I would literally have a viceral reaction. Now I only look upon your kind with pity. Poor little ignorant souls whose fear sentenced them to a life in a small little card board box. Well, you stay in your box while the rest of us have one big burrito party!
