Horrible thing for today: How to catch an “illegal”

A taco shop in South Carolina has employees wearing a t-shirt that says, “how to catch an illegal immigrant” with a picture of some taco’s under a trap. It get’s worse–they defended themselves,

As most tax paying Americans, we do believe ILLEGAL immigrants are taxing the system we support and live under, thereby, causing us to work harder and pay more taxes in support of their 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?

Unfortunately or fortunately, these are just some racists that are wearing a crappy racist, xenophobic and misguided t-shirt. The thousands of people that are harassed, racially profiled, picked up by I.C.E., living in fear, separated from their families, sometimes tortured in holding cells or forced to give birth in shackles–well, that, just happens to be government mandated. If ONLY the “government would look the other way,” we wouldn’t be faced with the worst set of human rights violations we’ll deal with as a generation. But, yeah, whatever–wear your t-shirt–what a bunch of jokesters!
