“he has a perfect right to open an account at that bank and receive a free steak knife for doing so, right???”
I don’t think our Secretary of Labor would go quite that far, but it is interesting that she essentially was encouraging a sizable number of Americans to break the law, since as others have noted, hiring illegals IS ILLEGAL! Hence, one cannot possibly pay them a “fair wage” unless one is engaged in illegal activity.
One would think that a secretary of labor might look out principally for the interests of U.S. workers. Can you name one U.S. worker who is made better off by having illegals take American jobs and/or encourage employers to pay them lower wages? One would ideally expect a labor secretary to be shouting from the roof-tops to U.S. employers: “Stop hiring illegals!”
No, Ms. Solis, illegals are only entitled to a one-way ticket back to their country of origin.
Can I be on the “Wage Fairness Board?”
I want to be a pig more equal than all the others.
Might that not be a 14th Amendment "equal protection" violation (never mind the wild usurpation of power)?
Yes. They have a right to fair compensation. IN THEIR HOME COUNTRIES!!!!

“But, thanks to President Obama, he pushed for the Recovery Act, which ... lowered the unemployment rate from 10 percent to 9.7 percent.”
This woman is bragging about how, after spending $87 billion (or whatever it was) on the “Stimulus Plan,” all Obama has to show for it is a reduction of 0.3% in the unemployment rate to a still ridiculously high 9.7% (and only after artificially creating hundreds of thousands of temporary Census jobs). Every Republican candidate across the nation should use this quote from Solis in their ads.
ILLEGAL is that.... ILLEGAL . They have no more “ rights” than if we went to Mexico and demanded rights!!!!!!
Sorry for the double post.

Ping!
Excellent = it would work too.
vertically or horizontal.
Solis is advocating breaking the law/\.
Where are the Republicans in the House & Senate?
Hiding.
what the heck is a “fair wage”??
According to U.S. law, illegal immigrants have no right to a job in the United States, period!
Arguing they should be paid a fair wage for a job they can’t hold legally, is asinine.
Fire this incompetent fool.
Well, if they intend to enforce this (and yes, I’m overlooking all the valid points everybody else has made for the moment), then there’s an obvious unintended consequence: why do people hire illegals? Because they’re cheap labor. If they suddenly fail to be cheap labor, then there’s no advantage to hire illegals and Americans would be in the market for their jobs again.
Marxists eshew logic and parallelism. They are only consistent at relentlessly advancing their agenda. And that is done under the cover of the chaos they create.
If all illegals were paid “fair wages,” there would be no reason to hire them, would there? The only reason they are hired is because employers can undercut wages by hiring scared powerless people who can’t make a fuss over long hours, less-than-minimum wage, and unsafe conditions.
If we followed Solis’ advice and paid them fair wages, no one would hire them anymore. You might as well hire a citizen! They’d have to get work somewhere else.
Come to think of it, maybe she has a point/
