I'm afraid they won't stop until America herself has ceased to be. What's next—mandatory Mary worship for all American citizens?

The health risks alone make this unadvisable—Lord only knows where those pesos have been!

Pizza chain: We don't need no stinkin' dollars
Mexican pesos to be accepted currency at American eateries

Pizza lovers who don't happen to have American currency on them can still purchase their favorite pies with Mexican pesos, thanks to a Texas-based restaurant chain.

Starting this week, Pizza Patrón outlets, which caters heavily to Mexicans, will offer the alternative form of payment.

"We're trying to reach out to our core customer," Antonio Swad, president of Pizza Patrón Inc., told the Dallas Morning News.

"We know they come back [from Mexico] and have pesos left over. We want to be a convenient place for them to spend their pesos."

It's believed no other food chain operating so far from the Mexican border is allowing customers to pay with foreign currency.

Swad said he's prepared to take criticism from American consumers possibly offended by the bypassing of greenbacks.

"We're not really interested in finding the safest spot on the board," he told the paper. "We know the purity of our intention, and we're willing to take the heat when there is heat."

About 60 percent of Pizza Patrón customers and 45 percent of its franchisees are Hispanic.

"If you're not in a border town, I don't see the functional benefit," said Juan Faura, president and chief executive of Cultura, a Dallas-based marketing and advertising firm. "I would see it as a move by the chain to communicate unequivocally to the Hispanic market that they are for them."

"I don't see any other reason for it," Faura added.

Andrew Gamm, Pizza Patrón's director of brand development, said the company has already seen customers spending "a couple hundred pesos" without any advertisement of the service during a test in a Mesquite location.

Founded in 1986, Pizza Patrón has gone from four locations to 59 and more than 40 under development across the American Southwest.

*sigh* When will that fence be built? If they don't want to use our money (and therefore accept Jesus as their Lord and Saviour, as our money states), they shouldn't be ALLOWED to eat. They can stay on their side of the fence and we can stay on God's side.

Hey, they want to come here, earn American dollars, and take them back to Mexico instead of spending them here.

If someone wants to take their pesos while they're here, more power to them! (I'd wager they're charging a healthy currency conversion fee, as well!)

I'm not sure how to react to this. I'm usually all for multiculturalism, but in this case it appears to be an outgrowth of laissez-faire capitalism and corporate greed.

(Oh my GOD, there's that girlie-Man again!)

Mister! Do tell me where in the KJV 1611 this "laissez-faire" is shown and then do make an appointment to come over to my Manse so that we might discuss it.

(I used to be kind of like Gomez Addams when I heard French being spoken

but since they are now our Enemies due to their cowardice of the Iraqi War, I do Believe I might be able to restrain myself.)

I've read the proposal for that fence. I'm afraid that the LIE-berals have been at it. The proposed 700 miles of fence with motion detectors, cameras and floodlights is a joke in my humble opinion. The bill, at a proposed cost of 2.2 billion, will only cover a small portion of the 1952 mile border. Even if a wall covered the entire border, it would not stop illegal immigration. These people would tunnel under, or go around the edges. The only way to enforce people not crossing would be to use the maximum amount of force, a point which the Lie-berals of the US will not let our guards cross.
