herooftime1000 Posted June 18, 2008 http://www.dnj.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080618/NEWS06/806180325 My favorite Chinese restaurant closed down after a Federal break-in, loads of illegal immigrants were found! Story in link. Damn, I loved the sushi and crab legs there... It sucks that they closed up. I always wondered how they can make the prices so cheap, well, now I know... Good thing I, myself, am a sushi chef so I can take care of myself but still, huge bummer.... 0 Share this post Link to post
MasterOFDeath Posted June 18, 2008 Heh, apparently a few Chinese restaurants in the area I'm in got busted for slave labor, by bringing in Chinese immigrants from back home and promising them "a better life"; they just had to live in the owner's house and work for them. They were also treated like shit, not even allowed to leave the house except for work or talk to anyone outside. Thank God for whistleblowers. I don't know if its true or not, I never looked up news stories or anything... its pretty crazy, but I heard it from a trusted source. Either way though luckily my favorite Chinese restaurant here is a small family owned/operated one that kicks the ass of all the other Chinese restaurants around here anyways. :P 0 Share this post Link to post

XP I'm gonna need to find a good place soon because I predict that Chef Wangs will... A. Lose reputation B. Raise prices to cover employment costs C. Because of both A and B, go outta business. 0 Share this post Link to post
ssfsx17 Posted June 19, 2008 All Chinese restaurants are run this way. You see, chinese people are very cheap bastards who think that cheaper = better. I know this because my parents are from China, whereas I am from America. 0 Share this post Link to post
Inferno Posted June 19, 2008 This is all true. A very good buffet that's near me has a pretty expensive price, and the worst part is it doesen't even go to the workers. They always complain when a small tip isn't left, and have practically went on strike because of it. 0 Share this post Link to post
insertwackynamehere Posted June 19, 2008 Every damn restaurant uses illegal immigrants, at least in Philly. It's not an uncommon practice; in fact I think it's more uncommon to find a restaurant that isn't bustling in the back with an assortment of Mexicans. 0 Share this post Link to post
Sharessa Posted June 19, 2008 "ICE has the administrative authority to detain and deport any illegal alien for no reason," Deneke said. "ICE is guided by a completely separate system of law and there are criminal laws that pertain to illegal entry into the country. "In other words, ICE can deport them without the use of the legal system." o_O Great, an organisation completely above the law. 0 Share this post Link to post
Bucket Posted June 19, 2008 Heh, I remember a diner I worked in a few years ago. There was a fire while I was working 3rd shift. During the ordeal, while the fire trucks were there, my manager took me aside and told me not to tell the police certain cooks/busboys were there. 0 Share this post Link to post

fraggle Posted June 21, 2008 The UK government recently "named and shamed" companies that have been fined for employing illegal immigrants. The results are pretty hilarious; most are indian restaurants, but there are some such as "Londis Hand Car Wash". Clearly some big crime barons here. 0 Share this post Link to post

Illegal immigrant - the other white meat. :-) In the highlands of New Guinea it called "long pig". 0 Share this post Link to post
