[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Chinese Buffets/Restuarants: harmless business or criminal enterprise? (Page 2 of 2)

Quoted:
Loads of Chinese restuarants/buffets all across the country. The ones around here have 1-2 people who manage the place and stay the same year after year. All of the servers/cooks rotate in and out frequently. They learn the language, make a couple bucks and move on. They would make excellent places to bring illegal aliens into the country or to spy from.

Illegal aliens: 1. mobility from restuarant to restuarant until they find a place to settle, 2. low key place to make a couple bucks, learn the language and customs, and figure what to do, 3. skills learned applicable to any restuarant setting.

Spying: 1. mobility all across the country, 2. place that isn't checked much, 3. base to get into American society from, learn the language, etc. 4. No one suspects them.

Check out your local Chinese buffets and see how many transitional workers they have. What happens to all of them?

My friends and I have noticed this trend in our area. We go eat chinese every thursday and have been for about the last 3 years. The cyclic rate you described is about right.

Around here they are hiring more and more Latins for dishwashing and even cooking at the Chinese places. Otherwise, I have seen Chinese grad students I know from school working as waiters or drivers at Chinese places. It is probably a good source of a little extra under the table income. I did know a LBFM whose family were Chinese restaurant owners and they were all legal.

3 Second Hijack. Anyone ever notice that 20 minutes after leaving a Chinese restaurant you get hungry again?

Well duh, since 10 minutes after leaving one you shit out everything you eat

The General's Tso's chicken is an "Americanized" Chinese dish invented by a New York City chef back in the early 1970's

most Chinese in China dont even know what it is

Me: Nop way that's pork
Wife: I wonder what it is
Me: Try not to think about it

It doesn't matter to me. If you think about it, there are a lot of businesses that have foreign individuals working there. A lot of people come to this country and start businesses here. Are they illegal?

Not everyone that comes into this country and gets a job is an illegal.

Somebody watched the Rush Hour movies recently.

I doubt the restaurant near my house is a den of crime or espionage; it's family run and has the same half dozen or so people working there that it has for over a decade.

And they make the best fricking shrimp in hot garlic sauce EVER. Heck, they're the only place I'll eat anything with sweet and sour sauce on; everyone else's sweet and sour sauce tastes like old socks with corn syrup.
