Michel Malecot is known for dishing out the tasty baguettes, pastries and wedding cakes that have made his French Gourmet restaurant a fixture for 31 years.

 

But when federal authorities raided his eatery, they discovered that his recipe for success included a staff of illegal immigrant workers from Mexico — pastry chefs, bakers and cake decorators, some of whom had worked the ovens for 15 years.

 

 

Malecot, 52, has pleaded not guilty. If convicted, he could face a maximum of five years in prison per count and a $250,000 fine per count. The government is also seeking to seize the restaurant, which includes the bakery and a catering business as well as a neighboring building owned by Malecot, saying the property should be forfeited because it was used in a crime.

bpdumbace should be all over this.

 

If they shut down every restuarant that employs illegals we'd all better learn how to cook.

Why limit yourself to one Mexican when you can have a whole group of 'em? Dibs on Menudo.

Sweet, thanks to Arizona the federal government has finally got the message and is starting to enforce it's own laws. I applaud this, though I doubt our pansy government will actually deport the illegals.

I don't know of any illegals working on any of our jobs. We do a pretty thorough background check on all our employees. There may be a sub or two that has an illegal, but if they are the have some good paper work as we force all our subs to check the immigration status of all their employees that are working on any of our sites. I'd welcome a tougher crack down by the federal government as it would even the playing field for those that play by the rules.

I'm positive that I don't have any working directly for me, unless they have some hellacious forged documentation with real good back up.

Do you want it both ways? Really?

I'm not sure what you mean?

 

I want the border sealed and immigration laws enforced. Is that having it both ways?

One of us is losing his sense of hughmor.

 

And that route would save me thousands of dollars in restaurant and bar tabs.
