They can not even call it what it really is.

And it gives places that are interested in making money the perfect chance to make it.

Oh yeah, Thursday is a typical slow day at bars anyway.

Closed bars? Maybe this will cause people to “sober up”? ;)

The communists, media and academia deliberately use ‘immigrant’ in place of illegal alien. They want people to believe that their status is somehow ambiguous, and that they shouldn’t come to their own conclusions until they’re told what to believe.

Nowhere will do this; I’ll bet even most Mexican restaurant and markets won’t do this.

I wonder if the restaurants that are closed will still pay their illegals on that day.

Now we know what businesses take advantage of illegal labor.

Good job, and thanks.

Most owners can probably afford the $2.50 an hour they pay them to take the day off.

Thanks, that makes a handy boycott list or places where we should show up with ICE caps and deport now signs.

Only a dozen?
Then it shouldn’t take too long to run the employee lists through E-Verify and start the fines.

How much revenue are they and their waitresses going to lose due to this STUPID STUNT?

Waitresses will lose a lot from the tips they won't get. Owners won't lose much; they pay the illegals under the table, and probably about $2.50 an hour anyway.
