Puzder has long been an advocate of comprehensive immigration reform to make it easier for U.S. employers to legally hire foreign workers. He has at times cited his own fast food workers as willing to work jobs that regular Americans won't do. A spokesperson for Puzder said that the labor secretary nominee was either being misquoted or exaggerating the proportion of his workers who were undocumented. This significantly reduced the number of inadvertently hired undocumented workers." Puzder replied that he hoped he hadn't said exactly that, but that he no longer employed undocumented workers.
