So maybe we should raise the minimum wage and provide more regulatory protections for workers. THAT will will certainly help the illegal immigration problem. </sarcasm>

Wonder how much the raised minimum wage has done to hurt businesses that rely on cheap labor for their livelihood?

How does an orange, strawberry, tomato, lettuce or apple grower compete in the help wanted section with an air conditioned McDonald's paying over $7 an hour?

Interesting problem: Raise the minimum wage, increase illegal immigration.
