Thanks for the reply...seems way out of line to me.

Doesn't it though??? I agree....All people that work on the labor side of the system should be required to work for minimum wage...

I have been thinking that I see a little of the elitist in some of the posts with reference to the American working man on other threads and here. It almost seems there are some people who think if a man works with his hands (or back), he shouldn't make a decent wage. I don't know if they feel since they have high educations or white collar jobs, it threatens them that someone who chooses to do otherwise is actually making a living wage.

Maybe that is why so many people favor the illegals working. They have someone for whom they can have a real feeling of superiority, because they mistakenly think these folks are not making much money.
