I would hire the one that would accept the wage I had determined a function was worth. If no one accepted that wage I would have to either raise the offer or find another labor source, even outside of the country to accomplish the task at a price I could pay that maximizes the profit I am in business to make.

Thought so. You're the problem. Get ready for some enforcement, pal. If I'm on the other side of the table from you, I'm going to try to send you to prison, okay? Nothing personal -- I just don't like sweatshop operators and people who deliberately hire illegals, so they can break their people on the wheel.

Foist a civil war off on us just so you can have a few good quarters? I don't think so! No, the laws were written for guys like you. Go ahead and strut your ego -- we'll let you have Michael Milken's old cell.

Have a nice day.

Knowing that sweatshops are not the same as slave work, are you a supporter of unionizing the workers so they can get better pay and benefits? Also are you a supporter of a raise in the minimum wage to prevent such breaking of people on the wheel?
