“We wouldn’t be able to survive without them. What makes America so great are the legal immigrants who have moved here,” Hattar said. “[They] allow us all to survive and offer the great food and beverages we are known for throughout America.”
The message has been mostly well-received, according to Hattar, with many people online praising the restaurant for its message.
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Hattar, whose parents are immigrants, said he started printing the receipts after he and his family began receiving a lot of hate and prejudice lately.
“I felt like I needed to stand up for my employees who bust their a---s every day and still have families back in Mexico who can’t come here,” he said.
