More likely, the restaurant owner doesn't want to hire legals because he has to pay them minimum wage, and adhere to US labor laws. But, he's probably not going to tell you that.

I agree that there are segments of the population that have gotten used to handouts and are going to do anything they can to keep from having to work. Some of them are legal citizens and some are illegals that have found a way to work the system.

But, I don't think you can count on a lot of legals stepping up to take the jobs vacated by illegals. Lots of people would not work work in those industries no matter what -- and not just people on public assistance. I would wager that half of the people on unemployment right now are there, not because they cannot find any job, but because they won't work for minimum wage or at those kinds of service jobs.
