Celebrity chef Anthony Bourdain spoke up against Donald Trump and his immigration policy in a recent radio interview.
Bourdain said that "If Mr. Trump deports 11 million people or whatever he's talking about right now, every restaurant in America would shut down. Like a lot of other white kids, I rolled out of a prestigious culinary institute and went to work in real restaurants," speaking on SiriusXM's StandUp With Pete Dominick.
"I walked into restaurants and the person always who'd been there the longest, who took the time to show me how it was done, was always Mexican or Central American," Bourdain added, according to Jezebel.
Speaking up in defense of the vast workforce of undocumented workers in America, Bourdain said, "I grew up in the restaurant business - 30 years in the restaurant business. Twenty of those years in this business I was an employer, I was a manager employer. Never, in any of those years, not once, did anyone walk into my restaurant - any American-born kid - walk into my restaurant and say I'd like a job as a night porter or a dishwasher. Even a prep cook - few and far between. Just not willing to start at the bottom like that," reported Eater.
Bourdain was scathing in his views about Trump and his criticism of the present immigration policy. Trump has repeatedly said that if elected, he would want to deport illegal immigrants.
