I'm thinking, if she had one experience like this every day for the rest of her life, she would get the full American minority experience.

I would love to see this start backfiring on them! If I owned a business right now I would definitely make it clear that Nazis and white supremacists and white nationalists weren't welcome there.

Our founding fathers thought-out some things very well. This is going to turn into another problem for small businesses as people take sides.

The restaurant owner asked her employees what they thought, and asked them to VOTE on it. THEY decided this. She wisely carried out their wishes, as a responsible - and RESPONSIVE - owner would.

Gee - asking them to VOTE on it. What a concept. Whoever heard of such a thing?

This simple solution costs $4.50 per day.

But instead of looking for basic common sense solutions, Trump DEMONIZES immigrants.

Why?

Because he needs a SCAPEGOAT.
