McDonald’s and Nevada Love Illegal Immigrants
Posted By admin
We have brought up the fact that illegal aliens are working at McDonald’s several times on Say NO to Illegal Immigration. Hate to say we told you so!
At least 56 illegal immigrants were arrested in McDonald’s restaurants in northern Nevada late last month. This was after five months of investigation prompted by an identity theft complaint. Imagine that! A brave local law enforcement agency gave ICE information that illegal aliens were working at specific McDonald’s restaurants.
The owner of several of the McDonald’s, located in Reno, Sparks and Fernley, Nevada, insisted that his businesses require employees to provide proper documentation. “As an employer, I do not knowingly hire or employ undocumented or unauthorized workers,” owner Luther Mack said. Well, that’s very convenient for you Mr. Mack. You let your managers hire the illegal aliens and turn your head the other way.
The disgusting Mayor of Reno, Republican Bob Cashell, joined pro-immigration activists at a news conference and was quoted as saying, “Think of some of the people who were arrested and picked up; they have children. They don’t know where their mama or their daddy is. That’s not right.” Agency spokesman Richard Rosa confirmed that ICE was working with Washoe County social services to help provide care for the children in question, and the illegal aliens were allowed to call their family during the processing. Nice spin Republican Mayor Cashell! Remember, illegal aliens can’t vote (yet) so there is no need to try to keep them in your pocket. Mayor Cashell also argued that the arrests were closer to 100, which makes illegal immigrants in McDonald’s restaurants MORE of a problem, but somehow he can’t see it that way. Mayor Cashell has stated he is against illegal immigration, but obviously he does not want to do anything about the serious immigration problem.
A spokeswoman for McDonald’s said they had no comment on the arrests. It is ironic that illegal immigrants were able to lobby and win a case to demand better treatment from farmers who supplied McDonald’s with food produce.
Illegal immigrants can lobby American companies and win their case, but us legal Americans are left with our hands tied behind our backs with only a handful of government officials listening.

Every McDonalds I visit seems to employ illegal immigrants. I frequent the closest McDonalds to my house a couple times a week for breakfast, and for several months I was waited on by the same hispanic woman who could barely speak English. I forget what the exact numbers were, but when I would get to the drive-thru, she would say in her Mexican accent, “$3.50″, so I would pay her exact change and get my food. I always wondered why this McDonalds cost more than others, but figured it was because it was in a nice neighborhood. Come to find out, the combo meal really cost $3.15, but I thought she was saying $3.50, and she never once gave me change! Either she put the money in the cash register because she couldn’t count American change, or she make 35 cents off me several times a week. I finally figured it out and realized she may have been saying “fifteen” versus “fifty” and she never said anything when I started paying $3.15. Gotta love illegal workers at McDonalds!
