Pizza promotion met with death threats!

DALLAS, Texas (AP) -- A pizza chain has been hit with death threats and hate mail after offering to accept Mexican pesos, becoming another flashpoint in the nation's debate over immigrants.

"This is the United States of America, not the United States of Mexico," one e-mail read. "Quit catering to the damn illegal Mexicans," demanded another.

Dallas-based Pizza Patron said it was not trying to inject itself into a larger political debate about illegal immigration when it posted signs this week saying "Aceptamos pesos" -- or "We accept pesos" -- at its 59 stores across Texas, Colorado, Arizona, Nevada and California. (Watch reasons behind the decision)

Pizza Patron spokesman Andy Gamm said the company was just trying to sell more pizza to its customers, 60 percent of whom are Hispanic.
OK, what I DON'T understand is why Hispanic people = carrying pesos.

I'm hispanic.. heck, my entire family is hispanic, and not one of us has ever even seen a peso! We live in America where the currency is American cash/coin & debit cards!!

That just seems extremely lame.

And all this comes soon after another Dallas suburb gets sued for passing anti-illegal immigration laws:
