“Seriously, how would $15/hr kill the cheap labor? By making labor expensive? It just means that NOBODY would be hiring legal labor, because the illegals would still be working for far below minimum wage. THINK!”

But, we have been told by corporatists that raising the minimum wage would kill jobs. If what you are saying is true than that obviously would not happen. Some fields like construction some unscrupulous contractors will hire and keep them off the books. Bur, it would be a real chore for others. Some in the fast food are fighting high minimum wages by setting up IT order takers. Obviously those jobs are going away.
