Until the USA gets a grip and cuts immigration to nothing, both legal and illegal, then I am for the minimum wage. You can’t have open borders and no minimum wage that is a one way trip to Brazil style economics.

You can’t have WELFARE and open borders...

Even if govt were to throw the immigration doors wide open, w/o welfare, the influx would be min. to null.

Course, we’re discussing 2 areas where govt has NO AUTHORITY to begin, so the debate is moot.

We shouldn't have either, and you probably mean Venezuelan style economics. Brazil's on the mend, Venezuela is an economic basket case.

I agree.

America has a massive - and completely artificial - over supply of low skill labor because of LEGAL immigration.
