[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Many are illegal immigrants who work on farms; some probably work in restaurants, cleaning the table for you, cooking your food. From what I understand, Trump and Trumpsters want them to leave. I wonder if Trumpsters leave tips, or write on the checks "go back to you where you came from".[/quote]

You'd be surprised.  I leave generous tips if the service is decent.  (It usually is.)  I have a couple of Dem friends that I go to lunch with from time to time.  (I go with them separately, they do not know each other.)  Both are in similar financial circumstances as I am.  Both stick to 15%.  One of them even has a little card that helps her figure out the 15%.  I go for at least 20% --never less.

+1.  I've noticed the same thing. In my view, it's because most of my D friends are "Karens" who expect everything to be just so in their little world, and like to control everything, including how much income other people get. My R friends are much more go-with-the-flow. "Hey she worked hard tonight, let's help her out."[/quote]

Totally agree.[/quote]
But would you leave a tip for the illegal immigrant working at those restaurants. That was the issue.   :roll:

A PP stated that half the little ID town was inhabited by Hispanics. I'm betting that many are not here legally and work in restaurants and farms. So, those Trumpsters will happily be served by those people, but still want them to go back to where they came from.  Would they leave tips knowing that some of the money was going into the pockets of illegal immigrants? Or would they not leave tips because they don't want to encourage illegal immigrants to come here?  What a conundrum.[/quote]

Oh boy.  I'm the PP who spoke about the small Idaho town where my family lives.  I clearly stated in that post that Hispanic families have lived there for generations - these aren't illegal immigrants.  Their kids have gone to school with kids in my extended family for at least a couple of generations.

As for whether or not to tip illegal immigrants - don't be ridiculous.  The issue of illegal immigration is, for most people, on the macro level.  Of course we're going to tip our servers, regardless.  I think you're making this far more complicated than it needs to be because you simply like to argue.  Oh, and you seem to be very much in favor of illegal immigration.[/quote]
You realize that their grandfathers, great grandfathers, mothers could have come here illegally, right?

I'm not "in favor" of illegal immigrants. I'm asking whether people who want to "send them all back" are ok with having their foods prepared by the very people who they want to send back, and tip them.

You look at illegal immigrants at a "macro" level, but what if you find out that someone you know came here illegally?  Or their grandfather did?  All of a sudden, it's not so "macro" anymore.    I look at them as human beings, and I realize that they are here because someone is giving them a job, someone like who works for Trump and those R farmers.

I'm betting that at some point or another, some white person in ID will say to your Hispanic "friends", "Go back to your own country.. This is why Trump won".  It seems to happen more and more regularly these days.[/quote]
