Chefs José Andrés and Andrew Zimmern criticize President Donald Trump’s immigration policies on the premiere of “What’s Eating America,” a new documentary series exploring the intersection of food and politics.
The show’s first episode, which airs on MSNBC Sunday night, kicks off showing how rollbacks on certain legal immigration programs such as H2-B and H2-A guest worker visas, among others, have impacted the lives of immigrant and migrant farmworkers, and, by extension, parts of the nation’s food system.
Zimmern also invited Andrés to be a guest on the show’s first episode, which features an on-camera interview with Jesús Lira, the Mexican banquet chef who first told The Washington Post that the Trump National Golf Club in Westchester County, New York, hired him knowing he was undocumented.
Lira, who worked at the club for a decade, told Andrés that at least one of Trump’s accountants facilitated the process of hiring people like him with forged documents.
