Upset

Sorry to hear of the influx of folks into your economy. I wonder what it'll take for our government to realize that we can'f afford to take care of EVERYONE here in America! Get your friends together and start making calls and emails and visits to your congressmen and women - it's an election year for many of then too. If you make enough noise, and call their offices enough - - you should get some results. We've even been having "gang activity" here. I know that there are some honest and good hispanic folks, and these troublemakers make it look bad for all of them. For the most part - the hispanics are good people, and hard workers. I wish you luck.

First of all, Utah has had illegals for a long time. Not all from Mexico - quite a few from other Latin American countries as well as Asia. Secondly, if you witnessed a crime being perpetrated, shouldn't you have contacted the authorities? Like notifying the labor board as well as ICE and telling them what you witnessed? It shouldn't be too hard to determine who was hired that day if you remember the date. But, my former inlaws (I've been divorced since 1989, so you know how long ago I'm talking about) used to complain about the "mojados" coming in and taking jobs. Yes, I was married to a Mexican, but someone who was born here and whose family has always been here since the land belonged to Mexico. My mother-in-law couldn't read, write or speak English. They didn't move - the country's boundaries did. So, if they thought it was a problem in 1989, how is it just news now? And, don't blame McDonald's for the actions of a local manager. They can't read his mind and only know what is on the documents. If they look legit, they assume they are. The manager might know, but it's hard to say. So, in addition to contacting the authorities, you should write to McDonald's corporate office and tell them what you saw and when.
