You are right 10 dollars would cause a serious problem for the cheap labor express and 15 dollars would kill it.That is why I support 15 dollars an hour to kill the cheap labor express because if you are going to pay that much you are not going to give it to people who can’t speak English. It also helps us stick it to those people in the C of C who think we are just their toadies.

There is a bridge in Manhattan I would like to sell you. It will cure cancer and bring back Elvis. Trust me.

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!

I’ve never thought of a high minimum wage in this context before.

Thanks for the incite!

Better yet, close the border and deport them where you find them.

Otherwise, look out for the unintended consequences brought about by your cockamamie "solution."

Most illegals work under the table, so a minimum wage wouldn’t matter. Then they go apply for welfare, food stamps, every free handout there is. So they effectively get 3-4 times the minimum wage.
