Jeff Bezos’ Washington Post is commiserating with wealthy restaurant owners who are trying to shield their lower-wage, illegal migrant workers from President Donald Trump’s crackdown on legal migration.
“Owners or operators of four restaurants confirmed to the Washington Post that they had lost employees, whether permanently or temporarily, since DHS agents visited last week,” the newspaper reported.
“If they want to go by the [law] book, there is not many restaurants left in D.C.,” said Luis Reyes, a former illegal migrant from El Salvador who is now the co-owner of a restaurant visited by ICE. He added:
Who will wash dishes? Nobody wants to do that. Only the hard workers, the people who come from Honduras and El Salvador, they happily do that … They want to make money and send [it] to their family.
“Why is DHS focusing on D.C. restaurants?” complained Geoff Tracy, a restaurateur for 25 years.
Most of the article focused on the owners’ opposition to any loss of migrant workers. For example, the article quotes one executive’s letter to the Department of Homeland Security after ICE inspected workers’ records in restaurants:
My hope is to avoid the unnecessary fear-mongering that took place this morning … Our employees have rights, they have been notified of these rights and any further questions or needs should be addressed directly to me.

Sure, well its the same reason the confederacy had for keeping slaves.
The Trump Organization is built on hotels, golf courses, and construction.
Even Kagen was wondering why he brought the birthright citizenship EO case combined with a complaint about nationwide injunctions.
Sounds like a collection of massa-s afraid that the plantation won’t run without the [insert appropriate unspeakable word here]
How did DC ever operate all those years before selling out our sovereignty to foreign invaders?
Did politicians brown bag their lunches?
Fix you own food! Eat at home!.....................

Wherever you have artificially cheap labor, you tend to have poor work conditions. Take away that cheap labor crutch and employers will clean up their act with those jobs as well.
I trust the marketplace will adjust..................
What’s the problem. DemonRATS don’t know how to cook?
I spent many an evening during high school working as a dishwasher and then a cook in several restaurants. Its good to hear from an amnestied illegal alien in my country that its something nobody wants to do.
Cooking is beneath Dems. Only the finest gourmet food will do. Oh well. Off to Whole Foods they go!
Poor babies. Learn to cook while you’re learning to code. Or just open up a can of beanie wienees, pussies.
Democrats haven’t been this angry since Republicans freed their slaves the first time.
They want cheap labor that hurts American workers is what they really mean. They want to pay illegal aliens under the table while the taxpayer pays for their housing, education, food and medical care. Great deal for them. Pretty good deal for the illegal Alien (at least way better than what they had in their own country). Terrible deal for Americans.
No thanks.
So, he believes that LEGAL people, citizens and Green Card holders, avoid working in the Food service industry?
😴😴😴😴🙏
Good!
Well the positive news is with less bureaucrats allegedly working there, no need for as many restaurants.
