Restaurant Sells Illegal Immigrant Shirts
by FOX Charlotte


CHARLOTTE, NC-- Tacos and politics... not the combo plate most people expect. A Mexican restaurant in Columbia is currently getting some heat over its immigration message.
 
T-shirts worn by employees and sold at Taco Cid's have the slogan "How to catch an illegal immigrant" on the back. Underneath is a cartoon of two tacos set up like a trap.

Leanne Shelgrove, the restaurant's owner, says it is not meant to be racist.

Since the shirt went viral, the restaurant has received death threats along with calls of support.
