About 50 percent of Texas restaurants reported that they were not profitable last year, up from 38 percent in 2024, according to the Texas Restaurant Association.
Some of that has been a consequence of the Trump administration’s crackdown on immigration: In Texas, where by some estimates nearly 10 percent of the work force is undocumented — compared with about 4.5 percent of the U.S. work force — restaurant owners have said that the crackdown has created a chilling effect among their workers, regardless of their immigration status.
Now as they feel the strain, the Texas Restaurant Association and business leaders across the country have started a coalition, called Seat the Table, demanding that Congress and the White House create work permits for “long-term, law-abiding immigrants playing critical roles from farms to restaurants.”

There doesnt need to be 3 family restaurants on every block.

All of them dont need to hire 50% illegal immigrants.

Why aren’t whytes willing to do the work?
That’s what baggers told us.
They said that brown people were taking jobs that whytes wanted to do.
They said that getting rid of brown people would help the economy, not hurt it.

How can they be unprofitable while also 'price gouging'?

yet again bringing race into an economic matter. They should pay whatever the going rate is. I thought you were for fair wages? Or is that only when it's convenient?

I am for fair wages and paying the going rate.
But that will drive inflation and drive up prices.
I thought you wanted low prices and low inflation?
Why aren't these bagger restaurants paying fair wages and the going rate?
Maybe they are? If so, then why aren't these baggers eating at these high-priced restaurants in order to provide jobs?
