Kid Rock sends home immigrant employees at his bar to avoid being deported by ICE
Somebody's got some 'splaining to do.... Who would have thought Trump's BFF would hire immigrants? Sounds like somebody was tipped off about the raids...

Nothing's going to happen but you're right, they're criminals.Wednesday 13 Fan wrote: ↑Fri May 16, 2025 2:46 pmYes, if it was titled, "Kid Rock sends home ILLEGAL immigrant employees at his bar to avoid being deported by ICE" it would have been more accurate.
Meaning, the company knew they employed illegal immigrants.
Tennessee Lawful Employment Act: The Tennessee Lawful Employment Act (TLEA) prohibits employers from knowingly employing, recruiting, or referring for a fee for employment, an individual who is not authorized to work in the United States. This law is in line with federal immigration laws that also restrict the employment of unauthorized workers.

Re: Kid Rock sends home immigrant employees at his bar to avoid being deported by ICE
This is definitely news to me. You’d normally expect a hardcore MAGA like Kid Rock to rat out all the illeegulz to ICE instead of protecting them.

Re: Kid Rock sends home immigrant employees at his bar to avoid being deported by ICE
I actually read the article. Kid Rock did not send anyone home. The owner, someone named Steve Smith, sent them home. Which means the title of this thread is complete bullshit. As is the speculation "Someone tipped off Kid Rock" since the article clearly states 1) No Raid occurred and 2) The owner did it based on other raids in the area.
Much like Gene and Paul's "Rock N Brews", I doubt Kid Rock is in the kitchen hiring help, ordering supplies and taste testing the menu. His name is on it, and that is about it. The article clearly states the owner is a Nashville businessman named Steve Smith. Maybe Mr. Smith should raise employee wages and offer better benefits to entice Americans to work there. Sounds pretty simple to me.
For the record I am not a Kid Rock fan. I find him to be a douche and his music is horrible. But can we be honest about things? Shitting your pants every time something remotely Trump related happens, then making up your own facts to push your agenda, just makes normal people disregard anything you say or do. You are hurting your cause, not helping it.

yea, because Biden was so competent, and was never played. It's funny, when you dumbfucks got nothing, you resort to just flipping the story to be the opposite.

Re: Kid Rock sends home immigrant employees at his bar to avoid being deported by ICE
Did I mention Biden? Nope, you did, stupid. You dumb fucks and whataboutism. Biden is gone. Get over it fuckwad. You are ashamed to admit your lord and savior isn't saving you. You can hold my fucking beer until one of his campaign promises happens. Mexico? No. Canada? Uh uh. Russia/Ukraine in 24 hours. Gosh, no. Grocery prices? Gee whiz, not yet. Gasoline? Puh...still above $3 on average. Accepting bribes? Of course.Brad Welp wrote: ↑Sat May 17, 2025 8:26 amyea, because Biden was so competent, and was never played.

Re: Kid Rock sends home immigrant employees at his bar to avoid being deported by ICE
When Biden was president and Trump was "gone", I'm sure you were here still showing your TDS, though. You surely didn't get over it then, right?Hatchets Molly wrote: ↑Sat May 17, 2025 8:34 amBiden is gone.

Re: Kid Rock sends home immigrant employees at his bar to avoid being deported by ICE
But it is not. Raising wages results in raising prices. And doing so in any business and specifically in a restaurant is not a "pretty simple" thing to do assuming you want to continue to stay in business.Metal Heart wrote: ↑Fri May 16, 2025 3:33 pm

Raising wages may entice Americans to work there, but the resulting higher prices will not entice customers to eat there. At which point you have less customers and need to raise prices even higher to make up for a loss of customers. Cycle repeats until the doors close.

Does anyone really believe that the vast majority of celebrities have anything to do with their wines, hot sauces, liquor, bar, eateries, weed or anything else?

Re: Kid Rock sends home immigrant employees at his bar to avoid being deported by ICE
If you are going to be as vocal as Kid Rock, you better know what a business you get paid to put your name on is doing. He may not be involved in the running of the business, but he probably should have checked it out at least a little so it matches his agenda. His name and face are all over the place and he sells merch.
It's like any MAGA thing though, don't accept blame.

Re: Kid Rock sends home immigrant employees at his bar to avoid being deported by ICE
This. Don't slap your name on something you can't stand behind. Of course nobody is suggesting Kid Rock did the hiring, but I do live in Nashville and have personally seen him in the bar. He has a home in Nashville. This isn't some business investment that he's never stepped foot in. He's there more than any of the other celebrities who have bars in Nashville. There is NO WAY he doesn't know there were immigrants working in the place. It's typical for the MAGA crowd, "do as I say, not as I do."Danzig in the Dark wrote: ↑Sun May 18, 2025 8:06 amTheir endorsement is their personal seal of approval.AlexVonHaig wrote: ↑Sun May 18, 2025 5:20 am Does anyone really believe that the vast majority of celebrities have anything to do with their wines, hot sauces, liquor, bar, eateries, weed or anything else?
