Illegals Sue Wendy's for Following the Law

Illegal immigrants are getting bolder and bolder:

HOUSTON (AP) -- A group of illegal immigrants who worked for Wendy's International Inc. is suing the restaurant chain because the company fired them after discovering it had missed a deadline for joining a federal program that would have helped them attain legal status.

The lawsuit, filed Friday in state district court in Houston, is a companion to a similar class-action suit filed last month in Dallas against Dublin, Ohio-based Wendy's, its subsidiary Cafe Express and the Houston-based business law firm Boyar & Miller.

The immigrants, who worked for Cafe Express, are seeking unspecified damages.

Between the two lawsuits, 40 illegal immigrants say they were fired after the company recently found that Boyar & Miller, the law firm Wendy's had hired, never filed paperwork for a 2001 legalization program that allowed immigrants with employer sponsorship or an American spouse to apply for citizenship.

If the illegals are angry with anyone, it should be with the law firm that failed to file the necessary paperwork that would have made it possible for these people to apply for citizenship.

Or, perhaps they should stop and think that if they had gone through legal channels to begin with, they wouldn't be in this mess.

People complain that there is too much red tape when it comes to applying for citizenship in the US. That's all well and good, but unless our immigration laws are amended, they're the laws that those who seek to come here need to follow.

The gall of these people is truly unbelievable. They're not supposed to be here, then sue the company that (following the law) fires them when it's discovered there's been a major snafu in their legal status.

I'd like to imagine that the judge who gets this case will toss it right out, but I've seen way too much nonsense lately to indulge in this kind of wishful thinking.

Moonbattery has more.

Wow, I hadn't even heard about this one yet. Unbelievable. Gotta check the local liberal rag (Houston Comical) to see what coverage they have. Pretty ridiculous, if you ask me.

What I wouldn't give to see Customs and Immigration Services officials show up at court to greet the plaintiffs...

I linked ya on this story, but Trackbacks are being stubborn.

We're going to continue to see ridiculous stories like this until we begin deporting illegals who "out" themselves with such arrogant behavior.
