Re: “Sort of blows up your argument....”
Not sure what that means.
In my earlier posts I was arguing that massive low skill LEGAL immigration has destroyed the wage scale for low skill Americans.
Since it appears to be politically impossible to stop massive LEGAL immigration, the $15 minimum wage is like an unexpected gift from heaven.
Millions of home grown Americans will now start applying for jobs they would not have accepted at a lower wage.
They will not take kindly to the fact that those $15/Hour jobs are currently held by foreign immigrants.
They will begin to vote against the politicians who favor massive immigration.
And, best of all, the companies that have sold their souls for cheap foreign labor will now have to pay $15/Hour for the immigrants they claimed were essential for American business!

A large number of legal immigration visas are in the technology fields which certainly make vastly more than low wage...
Illegal immigration affects the wage scale far more...

Nonsense, unless they are already useless parasites...

LOL...not in numbers great enough to matter

Going off the rails here...you do understand that will cost literally 100,000's jobs per year and drive many small business out of business...kill entrepreneurship and job creation...
Again, I ask how is the union job working out for you !!!
