In light of President Trump’s targeted travel ban, a restaurant in Brooklyn has begun printing a pro-immigration message on its guest checks, reports CNN.
It reads, “Immigrants make America great (they also cooked your food and served you today)."
The establishment is called Kiwiana and owned by Mark Simmons, a former contestant on Bravo's ‘Top Chef’ and an immigrant from New Zealand.
Simmons said to DNAinfo, “I added that message to the bottom of the receipts recently, to remind ourselves [and] our customers that immigrants are quite often the backbone of the hospitality industry...Overall the feedback has been positive."
News of the note began to spread after Mary Emily O’Hara, a journalist, shared a photo of the receipt on Twitter.
Notably, many commenters overlooked the receipt’s immigration statement, focusing instead on the $46 tab.
