If they didn't pay the employees what are the chances they paid state and federal taxes related to employment?

Are you being sarcastic, or did you also notice the names of the owners?

I'm sure you're being sarcastic, but it brings up a point....
Can an illegal immigrant file a FLSA suit?

I was wondering the same thing when I read this article about an illegal immigrant suing his rescuers. And he says he needs to the money to pay his bills.
...."The reasoning for the lawsuit? Ortiz claims the rescuers were negligent in their duties and should have extracted him from his upside down car quicker than they did.
Ortiz said, “Well, I’m happy. I’m really happy to be alive…But I’m looking for some help with my bills. I don’t have the money to pay.”
Ortiz is seeking $500,000 in damages, claiming his shoulder was injured in the incident."

I'm sure they can, then both parties should share a cell in a federal prison. After which the complaintaint would earn a one way trip back to the mutha land.
Typically the reason "illegals" are employed is that they don't file suit. So unless I missed something, both complaints came from LEGAL residents (if not citizens).
Just because their name is Campechano Ruiz and Carlos Ruiz AND they worked at a "Mexican" resturaunt does not mean they are here illegally.

Sadly, too many people think a person is illegal based on a name or accent. It's also sad that many times they are right.

I think that's just the direction the thread took. I don't really see where anyone implied/said they were illegals, outside of what I took as just a smart-ass remark or two.
Can you tell the difference between a Cuban or Puerto Rican vice Central American or Mexican accent - I mean they all have that spanish surname thing goiong too.
Problem is, Puerto Ricans are US citizens and there are a lot of immigrants from Cuba that are here legally.
Now, if you saw someone working for cash, with a problem speaking english and working for below standard wages for the job they are doing, THEN you have a reason to believe they are illegal.
Like I said, since they filed a complaint, I somehow doubt they would be illegal - or they have a really dumb lawyer.

No, I can't tell where there from, or if they're legals, or not. I like to assume they are legal. It doesn't really matter, though. They're here. They're not going anywhere. Some of them are good, some of them, not so good. Being here legally doesn't guarantee that they are not criminals, and being here illegally doesn't mean they're going to break into your house and rape your daughters.
Ouch. I'm curious about the closure though. I don't recall the last time that those kind of (sadly, fairly routine in that kind of business) labor violations resulted in the closure of a business by authorities. It usually ends up being a lot of fines. Maybe the fines were enough to prompt them to close?..
