Nope. And that poll you put that under says:

"Sixty-three percent of NFIB small-business owners surveyed oppose amnesty for illegal immigrants if they only need to prove that they have been living in the U.S. for at least three years.

That differs from what I said. That is not what is in the Senate package. In addition to proving you have lived here for three years, you must pay fines, back taxes, learn English, and have no criminal record. That is what Americans want as reflected in the polls.

Nothing about amnesty for anyone.There you go again. Illegal alien pay has got nothing to do with minimum wage. Its precisely to avoid paying even the minimum wage that dishonest employers keep employing illegals so they can pay them below the minimum wage, without worrying about penalties.

It has to do with both, which is why I said raise the minimum wage and good enforcement. Both would be necessary, because most Americans will not work for minimum wage or anything close.

Huh? That is utter rubbish. Is your name John McCain? There are MILLIONS of Americans that work for 10 or 12 dollars an hour.

Yes, and many more who won't touch a job for that. As I said, illegals are working for that in New Orleans in spite of the fact that evacuees were to be given first refusal, which most did. Most evacuees, in fact, didn't want to work in New Orleans for any amount of money.

"Yes, and many more who won't touch a job for that"

This is what you said before:

"Few Americans will work for even 10 or 12 dollar an hour as the contractors in New Orleans found out".

Now you are shifting position from that and saying "Yes, and many more who won't touch a job for that"?

Million's of Americans working for 10-12 hours per hour is not "few will work for 10-12 hours per hour".

But just keep the nonsense coming will ya?

"It has to do with both, which is why I said raise the minimum wage and good enforcement. Both would be necessary, because most Americans will not work for minimum wage or anything close"

No it doesn't.
And raising the minimum wage has nothing to do with it.
Raising minimum wages don't create jobs, and sometimes result in job losses.
Just ask Germany and most of Europe.
And again , millions of Americans DO WORK the legal minimum wages.
Illegals are employed by unscrupulous businessmen precisely because they can get away with paying them less than the minimum wages.
