Mexican Restaurant In South Carolina Under Fire For Racist ‘How To Catch An Illegal Immigrant’ T-Shirt
(http://thinkprogress.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/Taco-Cid.png)

A Mexican restaurant in Columbia, South Carolina is being criticized for its racist T-shirts showing a wooden trap using tacos as bait with the caption “HOW TO CATCH AN ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTâ€.
As the Palmetto Public Record notes, a South Carolina reporter tweeted a photo yesterday of someone who appears to be a Taco Cid restaurant employee wearing the offensive shirt.

ThinkProgress spoke with an employee at Taco Cid who confirmed that restaurant workers indeed wear the shirt. He also noted that patrons can purchase it as well.
Taco Cid, a one-star restaurant that has shuttered franchises in recent years, appears to have cribbed the design from the “Offensive Obscene & Sex Related Tees†section of an online apparel designer.

How does Petersen expect the win a DUmmy of the year award if she doesn't voice her own thoughts?
That idea on the shirt is an old one anyway.

1. I bet Taco Cid is no more Mexican than Taco Bell

No self respecting Mexican would be caught dead in one.
Then we should catch illegal aliens dead in them.

There were a bunch of Mexican immigrants that worked at a Taco Bell that was on my daily delivery route. Even though one can only do so much to improve food from that place, whatever they did, made it much better than any of the other locations I've been to.
And the hot sauce was served in little to go cups, no packets anywhere. It was definitely not taco bells hot sauce.
I miss that place.
Bullshit. ALL fast food companies have a set procedure as to the proper way that their food is prepared. Any deviation will result in immediate dismissal.
They create a comfort zone. The Taco Bell you get in Cleveland will taste like the Taco Bell you get in Denver.

It's like the owner is trying to make this last one fail.
I just hope that it's in the true fast food style of stand at the register and they hand you food after you pay. If there are actual waiters depending on tips in this place then they're well and truly ****ed sideways.
What do you know about tipping?

Hey! I use the same thing for Primitives! Only I put hippie propaganda under the box!

Whelp, 20 million illegals can't be wrong. And when most of them piss on our system of government, language, and customs, **** em with a burrito.
Metaphorically speaking, of course.

This is just the newest take on putting putting food stamps under the box to catch Obamaites.

Actually the Mexicans ( I don't know if they are legal or illegal) love Taco Bell in this area.

What do white people eat? Would it have been racist if it was a hamburger or a hotdog?

One of those damn Conservative resturants using real beef without fillers, local produce, and closed on Sunday for worship.
SUCK IT DUMMIES. :rotf:

Greeneville is in Tennessee.
Actually, there IS a Greenville, SC.
It's on I-85 between Charlotte, NC, and Atlanta, GA.
(Went there to see Bob Seger in concert last year.)
FWIW, I like these shirts.
If they piss off some illegal aliens, GOOD!
If they piss off some whiny-assed liberals, BETTER!
Anything that pisses off the DUmp, (and what doesn't) BINGO!

I'm aware of Greenville, SC. The DUmmy spelled it Greeneville, which is in Tn.
I live there 1/2 of the year.

You must never have experienced the difference between a suburban Taco Bell and a ghetto Taco Bell.

You mean one sucks worse than the other? Is that possible?
One of the few things I miss about CA--throw a dead cat, and you'll hit 20 good Mexican restaurants/take-out joints. Although some places might use the dead cat--those were usually evidenced by the big letter "C" from the health department in the window. Those places I avoided.

The last time I got food at a ghetto Taco Bell I was not able to get thru the first burrito before I needed to go to the bathroom. It was the 3rd bite when I felt a grumble in my gut and I was like "uh oh...". Lucky for me I had brought the food home to eat instead of eating it in the truck and made to the toilet with seconds to spare.
Never had that happen with food from any other Taco Bells.

Very true. when in Kauai (2008) we went to a Taco Bell in Kapaa. It was probably the best Taco Bell I've ever been to, and better than most of the restaurants on the island, sad to say.
-
Whether the food is good or bad I can't say, but either way it's got to be better than Maurice's BBQ.
I don't know about where you live, but most of the illegals in my area who aren't picking produce are split 50/50 working a either at Chinese restaurants or a Mexican restaurants.

It's no fun, being an illegal alien! Wow, I forgot about that song entirely. Bet it doesn't get much play now.

Okay, note to self, stick to Maui.

Our t-shirts were created as a witty and comical statement regarding ILLEGAL immigrants. There are NO racial nor hate remarks towards any specific ethnic group.
We serve EVERY individual with the same quality of service, and respect in a friendly and welcoming manner. And employees are NOT forced to wear this shirt (Huffington Post).
Our food is prepared fresh daily and served in the SAME QUALITY and QUANTITY, regardless of your race, religion or political views. We are an equal opportunity employer and will hire anyone who meets our needs and is a legal citizen or legal immigrant. We do not hire illegal immigrants. Our employees pay taxes.
As most tax paying Americans, we do believe ILLEGAL immigrants are burdening the system we support and live under, thereby, causing us to work harder and pay higher taxes to support the illegal activities, which our government has simply chosen to look the other way. Is it "racist" to disagree with those who are not supporting the American system?
We are open Monday through Saturday and closed Sundays — in observance of a day of worship.
If you do not agree with our views on ILLEGAL immigrants, please do not patron our establishment. If you agree with our view on American Equality in citizenship and tax fairness, then show your support and come join us for lunch or dinner.
We look forward to serving you!
I really like them. And for them closing their restaurants. I am sure it has nothing to do with Obama's economy and the rest of America closing up shop. ::)

I didn't catch the extra vowel.
My bad. :thatsright:

Assuming you meant you live in TN half the year and not SC...
I was there a little over a year ago visiting Parker-Hannifin for work. Unexpectedly had a roaring good time there in the later hours at of all places...Applebees. Met some guy named TJ, who was quite the character to say the very least.
Seems like about the only place to go there to have a few other than Applebees was FATZ, which had excellent food by the way.
Anything else to do there? I suspect I'll be visiting again.

This serves to highlight the problems with almost all liberals: They are stupid. They have no idea what the words coming out of their mouths/keyboards mean.

That in itself is enough to give a DUmmy seizures. It's one of the reasons they hated Chik-fil-A long before the whole "anti-gay" brouhaha.

Funny how every legal immigrant from Mexico that I know hates the illegals. But the primitives want to put their fingers in their ears and deny they exist. Kind of like how people that come over from places like Cuba and the former USSR tend to be really conservative.

I have found the same with families from the Philippines. They are always jumping through hoops to work and go to school here and get really upset when they see others getting a free pass.

Aside from the crazy bald dwarf, I did not know there were any.
