Illegal Workers protest in Washington after being fired by restaurant chain.

“We found that these workers were not legally authorized to work in this country,” said Chipotle spokesman Chris Arnold. “Many workers left immediately, but we had to let others go because we can’t employ them under the law because they are not legally authorized to work in the United States.”

Several of those fired said they did not want to discuss their immigration status. They said they were most upset over how their dismissals were handled.

I'm sure they were.
