MEXICAN RESTAURANT'S T-SHIRT: "HOW TO CATCH AN ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT"

A Mexican restaurant in South Carolina is causing a stir over their offensive company t-shirts.

The shirt shows an old style box hovering as a trap using a taco for bait - and the words say "how to catch an illegal immigrant".

The restaurant, called Taco Cid, has downsized from four locations across the state to just the one.


On its website, Taco Cid claims its uniform is "a witty and comical statement regarding ILLEGAL immigrants," and contains "NO racial nor hate remarks towards any specific ethnic group."

The eatery will serve all patrons irrespective of "race, religion or political views." However, it offers no apology:

    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?
