Immigrant-Owned U.S. Companies Said to Generate $775 Billion

37. There is a restaurant in my neighborhood that has about 15 illegal immigrants working the kitchen.

I went in and asked if they are hiring and then told me no. It's impossible to compete because they work for below minimum wage.

I'm pretty angry about that situation. There are many other restaurants I could apply to instead. There is a taco bell and a mcdonalds.

But I wanted to work at this particular place because it has the kitchen where people can't see you as much. It's more hidden. It's within walking distance from the garage I sleep in. I also think it probably affects wages in the whole neighborhood.

This restaurant owner is getting away with too much shit. I don't want to get the dishwashers in trouble, but the restaurant owner should hire people locally instead of importing undocumented workers from abroad just because they are cheaper. It has a negative impact on my community. In some ways the impact is positive, it's more vibrant and diverse here now. But overall, it seems to contribute to long term unemployment. I'm surprised nobody really talks about that aspect of illegal immigration. Seems to be almost a forbidden topic.

Trying to decide if I should report this restaurant, and if it would even make any difference.
