Congressman Luis Gutiérrez of Illinois is an open proponent of amnesty, open borders and illegal immigration. He also recently advocated a minimum wage of $30 dollars an hour.
BizPac Review reported:
Rep. Luis Gutierrez pushes for $30 minimum wage: ‘Oh, and a free pony?’
Rep. Luis Gutierrez recently praised a group of Las Vegas-area restaurants for increasing their employees’ minimum wage to $15 per hour, then stating that figure is only the beginning — he wants a $30 per hour minimum wage.
“We’re working to champion the cause of people – and I’m so excited you guys increased the minimum wage at Taco el Gordo, right?†the Illinois Democrat told the group.
“$15 an hour, I like that, that’s good. That’s good stuff, you know, so tomorrow I say –hey wait a minute, it should be $30 an hour – are you all going to vote for me?â€
“You say, ‘c’mon Gutierrez ain’t nobody’ – but that’s my point,†he said. “I mean you could take this to a point in which you go ‘really? – but we can’t do it.’ Should it be a goal? Oh, man, I am for that goal. I’m for a goal that everybody gets health care. I’m for a goal that everybody gets to go to college regardless of their income. And Latinos more than anyone else know that.â€

In US or Zimbabwe dollars?
If this passes, then people will have enough money to afford their unicorns.
CHEAPSKATE!!! Make it $100.00/hr!!! ;)
Ibet at that rate their won’t be any jobs for people who cannot speak English and all of those roofer and fast food industries that are pushing amnesty will regret doing so. Serve them right I support it.

Nah. But, everyone gets a pony too.
Remember, Louie is up for reelection and free stuff in liberal campaign promises flow like free beer at a pool party.
Liberal economics by intellectual Pygmies.
Raise the minimum wage by 400% and the price of everything else will jump accordingly.
Ground beef is already $3 to $5 a pound.
Raise the minimum wage and it will jump to $15 a pound or more.
A basic McDonald Hamburger will go to $4 and small fries will go to $6.
The annual salary for Rep. Luis Gutierrez will jump from $174,000 to $696,000
He’s a persistent S O B
Why not make the minimum wage $100/hr? We could all live high on the hog then!
So he wants a minimum wage that is approaching the 75th percentile of hourly wages $33.25:

That means only 25% of the labor force would be worth hiring at Guitterez’s minimum wage. Even the Euros are not that crazy.
Stupidity knows no bounds....
He can be Bernie’s vp candidate to see how fast they can bankrupt America with free college, free medical care, free I phones and $30 per hour for an unskilled idiot with an instant unemployment degree.
Of course all illegals as soon as they arrive will get the above automatically i
I’ll bet he pays his (illegal) Guatemalan housekeeper $8/hr...and gives her a $3 voucher for Wendy’s per 12 hour shift
I hope he gets it in his district!
Rep. Luis Gutierrez, you are an IDIOT!!!!
I didn’t mske that, with the highest security clearrce, a Masters degree in thefield of work & 15 years of experience with the Company.
Only if they make Congressman a minimum-wage job.
“In US or Zimbabwe dollars?”
Soon to be the same!
That’s about what it’s worth now —at the current wage.
$30 an hour for unskilled labor; for the person who almost never gets my fast-food order right, or the person who changes out the urinal cakes in the washroom. Will people who have the skills to make $30 an hour now have their hourly wage raised to $120? I think that is only fair.

Shame on you for thinking things out.
Like BO etal saying it is only 10 a barrel and ALL the money will go to infrastructure so ALL drivers will get to pay their fair share.
Of course they ‘neglect’ to inform you that for every fill up for every truck the equivalent tank price raise etc will be passed on to the consumers etc.
When the ‘bite’ hits the workers will claim (rightfully) that the Cost of living went up so we need a raise to keep up.
Then some braniac will say the 10 worked so well, we will add another 5 to pay for NEW roads...etc ...
Just a fine example of a circular firing squad.
