But uh, taking offense that their currency has value in this country? That's pretty bad.

No his point is that the company is facillitating illegal immigration i.e. facillitating people breaking the law.

I wouldn't go quite that far. What I'm saying is that this is a symptom of a very serious problem, rather than a very serious problem in and of itself.
I don't think that the fact that illegal immigrants can buy stuff with pesos in the US really increases the number of illegal immigrants.
But when businesses are accepting Mexican currency in their ordinary course of business, that indicates that illegal immigration has become pervasive.

Baseless assertion. I've yet to see anyone show that illegals make up any significant amount of the people using these pesos-acceptance services. So it's hard to take seriously the people protesting that they're not racist or xenophobic when they've never shown that "illegal aliens" are responsible for these types of programs.
