That was my point. Some of the locals feel pushed out.

Even after several posts outing it as a fake, some of the right wingers are still acting like it is real.

The next step in the right wing lunatic playbook is after passing through the faux outrage denial state is to move on to saying that a leftist liberal commie put up the sign, took a picture and then posted it to right wing/teabagger websites as part of an insidious plot to make them look stupid.

'Now Hiring Must Be Mexican' Says Burger King Sign
Either the store or the radio station is trolling as a publicity stunt or it's a disgruntled employee having a little fun ("Bang Ding Ow"!). I think this is a joke and not real, like the racist McDonald's sign a while back.

KFFM.com posted a picture of the sign and asked its readers, "I’m not exactly sure of the reasoning. Maybe none of the current staff can speak espanol or perhaps they need to fulfill their EEO report, I’m not exactly sure. What do you think? Do you find this sign offensive or are you okay with their honesty.”

When Americans learn better Mexican Spanish , it will cease to be a problem!

Years ago there was a woman who wrote the press and her letter was posted in the local NJ paper. She wrote her son applied in a fast food place, could have been a Burger King or Mac D's and said her son was turned away because he was not bilingual. He could not speak Spanish .

It wasn't fake. It was a disgruntled employee.

It wasn't condoned by Burger King but it did happen according to the report I read.

It is still a fact though that many jobs are requiring bi-lingual workers aka knowing Spanish. Since we are an English speaking country and most Hispanic-Americans can speak English why is that? It is pandering to illegal alien Spanish speakers at the expense of native English speaker job opportunities, plain and simple.

Yeah, maybe. Washington has a lot of agriculture, most of it seasonal. They need people to pick the apples, grapes and those wonderful vidalia onions. Whites wont do it, as it's piece work and they have to work too hard to make a buck. Mexicans will and jump at the chance. Being a farmer with a crop to harvest what would you do?
Clue......Hire the Mexicans and get your product to market.
