"The restauranteur assumes that his business is worth keeping alive. As if we don’t have enough restaurants as it is."

At CNN, a restauranteur from Oxford, Mississippi, weighs in on immigrations'€™ impact on his industry:
I can not survive without the Latino segment of the workforce in Oxford, Mississippi. I employ a tremendous number of people who do extremely unglamorous work. We pay them well and take care of them as well as we can. I have trouble getting American-born workers to even apply for those positions when we advertise, much less show up. -- We don't need more cheap food provided by immigrants « Gucci Little Piggy

This isn't just in the south. Restaurateurs have this problem everywhere.
