ICE raided a local Mexican restaurant yesterday. WLBT reported:
Charlotte Steele told WLBT "They are kidnapping our citizens all over the country." Oh really?

Steele needs to "chill out" about ICE.
That woman on the street being interviewed is your typical bleeding heart leftie. I have the smallest violin in the world playing Hearts and Flowers just for her.
The restaurant should have I-9 forms filled out for every employee. That will verify their immigration or citizenship status. Anybody want to bet that the restaurant has those forms?
Poor Charlotte
The owner can’t speak English.
No Ms Steel, they are NOT US Citizens. Also the owner is required by US laws to do E Verify with I-9 Form. It’s electronic and simple. End of story
That’s the typical person opposing ICE; completely uninformed and brainwashed. As Dean Wormer would say, being stupid is no way to go through life.
Every person in the U.S. is an immigrant or of immigrant origin unless you’re Native American. Bunch of hypocritical dipshits.
Popular restaurant my ass. That place is always a ghost town. I didn’t even know it was still open and pass by it often
Typical of WLBTGQ to find an old white liberal woman to interview and push their narrative.
No Mexican restaurant serves authentic food without illegals working in the kitchen. Just like no Chinese restaurant serves authentic food if there are feral cats in the area.
Seriously, who gives a $h!+ what this woman thinks? Why does the local media seek out inane, worthless, meaningless commentary that serves no purpose other than to present a vacuous, uneducated, ill-thought-out, perspective?
Those "Native Americans" migrated to N. America across the Bering Sea land bridge from Asia, bleeding heart.
“Every person in the U.S. is an immigrant or of immigrant origin unless you’re Native American. Bunch of hypocritical dipshits.”
Where did the Native Americans come from?
They need to make the penalties for hiring these people really stiff. He knew they were undocumented he chose to hire them anyway. If the supply of jobs is cut off they will all go home. Roofers and contractors you are next better start hiring some people who are here legally and don't say they work for the sub contractor I didn't know. BS get ready.
What I want to know is who steals a porta potty from a construction site??

Well played.
Just remember when food costs explode and you can’t get your roof replaced after the next tornado and have a tarp for 10 months… you voted for it.
1:05 - The media seeks out dissent. There's no money in today's world for fucking kumbaya as much as we're all sick of of the negativity. Humanity doesn't have the stomach for feel-good stories anymore. Take this shitty, biased blog as the perfect example.
It amazes me the nerve some people have. Why is it wrong to arrest people who are breaking the law?
These people that were arrested were in “in the US” illegally. So we should let them continue breaking the law?
12:52, we are “hypocritical dipshits”?!? No one is bashing immigrants or immigration, we are simply against illegal immigrants and illegal immigration. Some of my ancestors are native to this continent and the others came here LEGALLY. Low information types like you need to refrain from commenting.
That is an absolute LIE, 12:52. Plenty of Old Stock Americans have absolutely NO immigrant ancestors. Plenty of Mississippians are descended solely from people who were here BEFORE MISSISSIPPI BECAME A STATE. Same for Louisiana. And a few, are descended entirely from Europeans who arrived in North America before the founding of our nation.
Too, there are the old Sephardic families of the American Southwest. They're NOT IMMIGRANTS.
Is there a political party whose candidates do not want massive US deficit spending? What about cracking down on illegal immigration? How about not protecting powerful pedophiles? I guess we can't have it all?
What part of illegal does the left not get? All these Democrats are angry because thier potential voting base is being removed and they need cheap labor in the fields. The last thing on a Democrat's mind is an American citizen.
Most restaurants that serve any kind of food wouldn't exist without Latino immigrants working in the kitchen washing dishes, doing prep work, etc. Nobody is going to argue that illegal immigrants who have committed crimes should be deported, but the ones who are here working hard to provide for themselves and their families need to be left alone.
I hope in the near future, these type of stories, including the arrest of business owners who hire these people, soon outnumber those involving people murdering one another.
Tip for the illegals who've broken no laws (except of course breaking into our country, stolen people's identities and used legal citizens' benefits): Go home, collect your $1,000 and get to working on your paperwork to attempt to enter LEGALLY.
Just get the criminals, leave the rest of them alone.
Don't you mean raided by the SS? ICE is the same thing these days.
@12:53 very valid. And nobody in this thread has issues with immigrants. We have issues with illegal immigrants. A legal immigrant would not have been arrested.
Charlotte Steele: They are "kidnapping our citizens."
Ole Charlotte may have set a record for telling two lies in three words.
Talented, Charlotte is. Honest, Charlotte is not.
Poor lady, total idiot. She sees thing on the surface only.
You mean the same illegals who bring communicable diseases with them?
What awful biased reporting. Geez, WLBT has sunk to the depths of WAPT. I am reminded why I don't watch local news. I don't bother with people who habitually deceive.
"Just get the criminals" - Except ALL illegal immigrants are criminals by breaking federal law to enter the country illegally instead of using the many lawful methods available to enter.
I can agree with you. There isn't ratings and money in good news. As far as this, or any blog, people vent frustrations on sites like this. There was a time when people could disagree and go about thier business. We used to call those people, adults.
As long as they are here legally.
@1:28 my friend is a roofer and only has people who are documented and here legally working for him so I will be fine. Let me let you in on a little secrect, all of these undocumented roofers suck. Their work is horrible
Excellent job by ICE! Please remove all of them from our country!
We don't need them in America! ICE needs to arrest more! We all need to support ICE! Report any individuals you observe working in your area who are not authorized to be in the United States.
Our president is doing an excellent job of cleaning our country of these individuals! Let's help make our country great again!
The US government requires all employers to verify the status of all employees, regardless of any ethnicity. Obviously this was done because the govt could not do it, thus it is my responsibility to do the govt's work for free. That being said, I do that and do not hire undocumented workers. Very simple. Ms Steele simply wants to choose the laws that she wants enforced. I would like to do that too, but obviously a functioning society could not exist. Ms. Steele should run for office and work for the changes she wants.
The article had this gem:
“They are kidnapping our citizens all over the country, and it’s wrong. They are being mistreated, incarcerated, and deported. For those who think they are deporting criminals, they aren’t. The people that are being arrested are people going to work,” Steele expressed.
Are criminal suspects "kidnapped" while being arrested too?
Democrats 1860: "What will we do without our slave labor"
Democrats 2025: "What will we do without our slave labor"
You'd first have to repeal the 17th amendment and disallow popular vote of Senators.
@1:40, 1:43 and others. None is agains arresting illegals. But there is a problem when the arresting agencies show bias against some and look the other way at others. For example, a popular roofing company has been doing a lot of work in my neighborhood lately. White guys show up at your door and get the job. The next day 20 Hispanics are in the roof doing the work. A well know chicken plant gets raided every 4-5 years. Hispanics get deported and the white people who continually “hire” them don’t even get a slap on the wrist. I can’t imagine the laws that get broken for hiring, aiding, “paying” illegals. But it makes for good political theater. Gives the left something to scream at and gives the right a false sense of accomplishment.
How ignorant are you to believe illegals are the only ones capable of roofing a house? That says so much about you. I bet you don't even hear the "chirp" anymore in your house.
We are going to end up with no more Mexican restaurants. Then what will be do with empty restaurant buildings when American restaurants fail? We could always rely on a Mexican restaurant to locate in the abandoned buildings in the past. This is a real economic issue, and the president needs to take it serious. NOW!
2:16 EXACTLY! That's EXACTLY what they're like! Just like the storm troopers before / during WWII! In fact, I'm betting Trump himself is starting construction on the gas chambers and crematoria at "Alligator Alcatraz" in Florida, because you KNOW their real plan is to kill all of the detainees vs sending them back! Trump's like that, you know.......... /s
What kind of f&*$&@! moron compares people who are legally arresting / deporting illegal immigrants with people who arrested and facilitated the murder of millions of innocent people? I just have NO words.
A lot of Trump supporters are gonna be PO’d when they can’t get their giant fajita fix.
The 'citizens' this woman is yammering about have stolen social security numbers. Typically they buy them from individuals who have access to various records. As a tax professional I've seen the bother, anxiety, and COST people incur when someone steals their SS# and the IRS begins dunning them for tax on thousands of dollars they did not earn in states they've never even visited. And SS doesn't help them in the least. It typically takes 3-5 yrs to get their records straightened out, all the while them worrying about when the IRS will seize something to satisfy the 'debt' caused by some illegal working and falsely using their info. Perhaps this sympathizer would like to publish her SS# to facilitate this crime further since she thinks deporting criminals is kidnapping. Then she could pay taxes and answer dozens of requests from IRS for what they earned & sent to MX.
A rubber glove salesman?
Had my roof repaired recently and the 2 workers didn’t speak a word of English. Just saying.
Just remember, when you're late for that interview because you slept late, it's your fault you supported 70 mph on the interstate.
they could raid all of the Chinese restaurants too. They hire illegals. Especially the one with thr BIG grocery store.
And I have no words for you either. Deporting people to a prison in El Salvador without due process to never be returned. Hmmmm. It isn't far from 1930's Germany. I stand on my comparison. I am sure you will call me all sorts of names you have been taught by MAGA, and that's fine because well all know I am right, you sheep.
I know of one popular local Mexican restaurant who has all legal workers, verified I-9 forms, and has yet to be raided. They are very concerned that they will lose business because customers will be afraid that their food isn't authentic Mexican cuisine. They are thinking about faking a raid in order to convince customers otherwise.
Nothing in all the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity.
@3:38 Nah Im good. There are plenty of recipes online. Time to arrest and deport. They can take their anchor babies with them. Trump is going to strip away their “illegal” birthright citizenship soon enough too.
Hence why Cali made voter ID illegal. Or they say it's hard to get or it's racist. It's not like you need a ID for much these days right?
Will someone please tell me who Charlotte Steele is and why she thinks she is so important?
I can grow poblanos and tomatoes and make tortillas from masa. Does that mean your hermano will roof my house cheap?
Latinos are taking construction work that previously provided a middle class income to real Amaericans. No t just roofing, btw.
My ancestors were invited here and fought in wars from 1885 to WWII to keep us free.
I checked my book, and she ain't in it. So, she's nobody to me.
Did I say illegals are the only one who can roof a house? Who’s not listening now?
I said prepare to wait for a delay and, I’ll add, get ready to pay a LOT more.
Americans want everything cheap and yet they all want to make 100k working 35 hours. A rude awaking awaits, friends.
“A legal immigrant would not have been arrested.”
You’re not paying attention, friend. Why don’t you google how many people with green cards have been arrested recently?
There’s a quota to be filled and when they run out of the ‘easy’ ones, they’ll round up the ‘other’ ones.
The Kroger on I55 North seems to have many customers that speak little or no English and the stores response is to enlarge their Mexican food section. It needs to be checked out
I love watching the blue cult cry and cry. They don’t know the difference between legal and illegal, they have canned response's for everything that they parrot from their propaganda ministry and no basic concept of laws. They literally think nothing is going to get done without Mexicans, they think only Mexicans are illegal aliens which is racist in its self. But you can’t blame the pea brains they only know what they’ve been fed from propaganda. They’d have to have their diapers changed when they find out ICE deports Asians, Europeans, Pacific Islanders and Southwest Asians.
Try living close to some illegals. Drunken parties lasting all week end, empty cases of beer littered all over the place, fighting roosters in their back yard, junk piles behind their house, and always the odor of cooking cats.
Chances are pretty good they used a stolen social security number to pass E-Verify and put down on the I9. Identity theft is not a victimless crime.
Meh, they had questionable shrimp anyways.
Brothers & Sisters - Be careful giving interviews on the news. Your face can be capture & scanned by google to get a match. Then you can do a person search also on google to get all kinds of information.
Filipinos are a great model for legal immigration. They are educated, hard working, and English speaking. Plus, the majority of them queue up, follow the process, and wait their turn. Once they get here, they become one of the wealthiest immigrant nationalities in the country. And they are more woven into the tapestry of the nation’s culture from Olivia Munn to Olivia Rodrigo, and Bruno Mars.
It’s possible Steele isn’t the dumbest person in Jackson. No wait, nvm.
Ding! Ding! Ding! We have the winner!
"Roofers and contractors you are next"
"Latinos are taking construction work that previously provided a middle class income to real Amaericans."
Please report back after your roof has been replaced by a crew of meth-head white trash and let us know how good their work was.
The days when American middle class swung hammers are long gone.
6:02 said, "Why don’t you google how many people with green cards have been arrested recently?"
Riiiiiiight...you read something on the internet so it must be true!
They’re not arresting “citizens”
Actually, Dean Wormer said “Son, fat, drunk and stupid is no way to go thru life.”
I've seen the "work" mexican tile guys and american and I'll take american every day.
Have to agree with 2:36. WLBT chasing WAPT for next year's shittiest journalism award is the story, actually.
Also please let JJ know if ICE shows up and arrests one or all of your landscapers and or maids.
Two workers? I had a new roof put on in Madison four years ago and I took photos of the work in progress. THIRTEEN on the roof at one time. Broad smiles but not one spoke English (so they claimed). An English speaking man showed up several times through the day.
