No Happy Meal

On Thursday federal agents raided 11 McDonald's restaurants in northern Nevada. Why? Well despite what you may think it was not to arrest the Hamburglar. Agents for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement made at least 56 arrests on McDonald's employees who are believed to be illegal immigrants.

Luther Mack, owner of at least some of the restaurants that were raided, insisted that his businesses require employees to provide documentation. So explain the 56 employees who are being accused of being in this country illegally. It's not like this situation is unbelievable.

Supporters of the 56 would say that this whole situation was handled in the wrong fashion. But who really knows how the everything took place? Is the media just building the story up by using the word "raid"? Others say it's wrong to keep men and women from returning home to their children who have no idea where the parents are. I doubt both parents of a child(ren) are being held.

Though America is very serious about who it allows to enter the country, we must also be careful how we handle such a task. I would hope agents of the U.S. Immigration service treat someone who may be here illegally respectively. We don't want these "raids" to become a routine- that would be no happy meal.
