If compensation for kitchen and bussing staff went up 50%, that
shouldn't raise prices more than your 15% because the rent wouldn't go
up, the food costs don't go up, and the higher paid skill jobs don't
go up. I'd like to see every single illegal Mexican out of the USA,
but I'd also like to open up to plenty of legal Mexican immigrants.
All undocumented workers harm the working class. Folks who exploit
undocumented folks should be imprisoned at hard labor.
