the miners example has absolutely everything to do with this topic. miners are paid about $20 an hour to get dirty and take the risks. pay them $8 an hour and watch the mexicans fill the mines.Oh, I get it. We make like democRATs, give everybody a "Living Wage", say $20.00 per hour for hotel maids, dishwashers, strawberry pickers, manure shovelers, etc, ad infinitum. Who cares if the public has to pay for the increase, who cares if the businesses go by the wayside.
Anything to keep nothing but American workers paid a high wage. Let's not stop there. How about absolutley free health care ala Hillary, free prescription drugs, double the social security benefits.
i agree. i was not suggesting a living wage. i only pointed out how the miners were relevant to the thread. the mining company had no problem finding white and black americans to mine for $20 an hour. for $8 an hour they would almost surely have to hire illegal aliens from mexico. i'm just voicing my opinion that cutting costs by lowering wages is fine as long as americans are hired.
