Restaurant’s controversial “How to catch an illegal immigrant” t-shirt sparks firestorm | Watch the video - Yahoo! News
Watch the video Restaurant’s controversial “How to catch an illegal immigrant” t-shirt sparks firestorm on Yahoo! News . Taco Cid, a Mexican restaurant in West Columbia, South Carolina is at the center of controversy after a photo of their employee donning the business’ t-shirt was tweeted. The t-shirt reads, “HOW TO CATCH AN ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT,” with an image of a box held by a stick over two tacos. The message and the makeshift trap have caused those on both sides of the immigration debate to become very vocal. Taco Cid’s owner, Leanne Snelgrove said the reaction has been both positive and negative. Some have placed orders for the $35 shirt, while others have threatened to bomb the restaurant. An official statement on the business’ website states, “Our food is prepared fresh daily and served in the SAME QUALITY and QUANTITY, regardless of your gender, race, religion or political views.” Still others believe that likening illegal immigrants to animals that should be captured in a box, reflects a very racist message.

Something I just saw on Yahoo. I guess some taco joint in South Carolina made some T-shirts that caused a stir.
Anyway, it says "How to Catch an Illegal Immigrant" and then has two taco's under a makeshift trap. A box where you could pull the string. Anyway link provided. I know it's racist and all but I still laughed.
