Dozens of workers, presumably illegal aliens, were fired from their jobs for skipping work to engage in a "day without immigrants."
More than 100 people were suddenly out of work across the country this past week after they participated in Thursday's "Day Without Immigrants" protest. As numerous restaurants across the country closed their doors in solidarity with the cause, other employers were decidedly less understanding.
Eighteen of those who were fired worked at Bradley Coatings Inc., which had warned employees they would lose their jobs if they didn't come to work. In Lexington, South Carolina, 21 workers were fired from Encore Boat Builders after they took part in the national protest. The company has declined to comment. And in Denver, at least 30 workers were fired from JVS Masonry after they missed work on Thursday. "I have no view on immigration laws or anything going on with that. All I know is I have a business to run," company owner Jim Serowski said.
In New York, 25 workers were fired from Kosher Delicatessen Restaurant & Caterers in Long Island.
Oy vey! Now who is going to put the schmear on the bialys? They were only doing jobs Ashkenazi won't do!
In Catoosa, Oklahoma, a dozen workers were fired from the I Don't Care Bar and Grill after they didn't show up for work. The owner fired at least some of them via a horrific text message: "You and your family are fired. I hope you enjoyed your day off, and you can enjoy many more. Love you." Restaurant owner Bill McNally justified the move, saying he has "zero tolerance policy" for people who skip work.

All of these businesses need to be audited to make sure these were not the only illegal aliens they employed.
Oh my, dozens from across the country.
What a bust that protest was!
TFB....now they know which side the breads buttered on and who’s butter’en it and it aint SOROS or any other socialist activist group.
If these businesses fired Illegal Aliens, it could only mean that these businesses HIRED Illegal Aliens.
And now that they have admitted to the crime of hiring Illegal Aliens, they should be prosecuted and fined.
In just shy of 50 years of working I’ve yet to find an employer who will pay you for not showing up. I wonder why that is...
Writer has NO idea whether any or all of these people are illegal aliens. But being a typical modern journalist, the writer assumes rather than investigate and learn something.
I guess it’s the look on the face of the “employee” when they find out they’ve been canned that cracks me up the most!
It should have been hundreds of thousands fired.
These businesses almost certainly have copies of social security cards for these employees on file (no matter how crudely forged) so the employers have deniability. If Social Security flags a mismatch in the SS database employers are pretty much off the hook.
Questions for discussion:1) Can the illegals who got fired sue for wrongful termination?
2) Can the illegals who got fired go on unemployment insurance, using their "social security numbers"?
3) Or can they and their families go on welfare?
4) The government now knows the name of the businesses that have been hiring illegals. How likely is it that any of them will be investigated for breaking the law?
5) How ironic is it that illegals, who feel justified in breaking the law to enter our country, feel justified in breaking the terms of their employment and yet, for once, suffer consequences for it?
6) What is the funniest part about the story of illegals who work at the "I Don't Care Bar and Grill" feeling that they were unjustifiably fired?
“The owner fired at least some of them via a horrific text message” Horrific? Sounds benign to me. And to the point.
So the owner didn’t have a problem with them being illegals, he only had a problem with them not showing up for work.
The owner is a part of the problem.
And no liberals, you shouldn’t get your job back for protesting against enforcing the law when you are already breaking it!
Bump!
The traffic was so much better, next time they should take the whole week off. By the way, several restaurants in my locale were shut down for the day. They’re admitting that they harbor illegal aliens and should be raided by ICE immediately.
