They have 10 days to respond or they face $5,724 fines per person.

Some have lost dozens of cooks and servers and managers and they're worried that the whole industry is going to collapse.

So that's happening.

I do think, personally, I applaud being consistent and actually going after the work permit part of this because I think overall, I've said for a very long time, I think the way to stop illegal immigration is to take away all the financial incentives, starting with things like welfare and medical care and free education and all the different handouts and cash that we're giving these people.

But I think their ability to work is another piece of it.

I'm sure there are a lot of people that are working under the table and it's hard to stop that.

But wherever you can, I think you need to say, you know, we should not only go after the people who are working illegally, but the companies that are employing them.

And so I think that it's to me, it's a good thing that they're starting to do this.

And I do think it may be an issue in terms of how we staff these restaurants.

But I think, you know, hopefully that would mean they would raise wages to the points where Americans would want to work there.

And it might mean prices have to go up.

But to me, it shouldn't be that you would subsidize things by having illegal immigrants do the jobs.

He kept saying that sort of response to everything that she was saying.

And she eventually was like, did you prepare for this at all?

Did you prepare for this briefing?

Because you don't seem to know basic facts, like even how many kids you have in your state.

And he's like, well, I don't know.

And he didn't really have an answer for that.

He's like, of course I prepared for this.
