Ok, for the sake of arguement, let’s explore your premise.
What wage do you estimate will be necessary to entice the unskilled blacks and whites who are now quite used to the government feeding, housing and supplying them with cash through a million programs? $10, $20 an hour? $10 probably won’t start.
Now explain the economics of basic low/un-skilled labor @ $20 an hour. Right now as a bonefide wage earner in a moderate skill job, its unlikely you’ll make no more than $15 an hour and a skilled Technician, like Electrician at around $20 an hour. If the unskilled lowlifes now get $15 to $20 an hour to get them off their ass, your same $15 to $20 skilled now must be double or its not worth your trouble. Your car is now $60K or more for what you bought in 2010 for $28K. Your home now buys for $450K to $600K. The hamburger and fries last week cost you $7 will then run you $20, and a gallon of milk $20.
Point being, that level of inflation is not sustainable, because it is bottom driven. Unless you want to give up a LOT, the only alternative is either immediately terminate all welfare forcing them to get a job for Minimum Wage, or import workers willing to take less. Which is more likely?
Economically you don’t need wages to entice any off their rear ends. You just need to entice someone to do the work. Minimum wage is now $7.25 an hour. You need to pay more than that to get people, not just lazy blacks or poor white trash, but those who are willing to do honest work and are only paid minimum wage. That includes teens, college grads who currently have no work but need to pay off their huge loans, and anyone else who wants more than minimum wage.
Will that pull some people from currently low paying jobs? Yes, but instead of the govt. setting minimum wage standards, you’ll have economics setting wages. I trust that a lot more than the govt. tinkering we have now. Let the market decide the level of pay for jobs by necessity of having the work completed and desirability of the work needed to be done. Let Americans receive that pay and any benefits needed to entice them to do the work.
The illegals need to return to their home countries and start working on the economies in their home nations. We should not be subsidizing employers out of our tax money to make the amount of pay the traitorous company owners give the illegals artificially low.
Then when illegals have returned home and work is plentiful, there will be no reason to allow people to remain on welfare. Once the welfare has been reduced to a negligible amount and all other handouts are eliminated as a benefit for any foreigners, we can consider increasing the number of guest workers applying from their home countries.
