Wasn’t this one of Pelosi’s wet kisses to campaign contributors?

I recall reading here that the minimum wage increase was a moot point, because nobody works for the minimum wage.

Send them some illegals, They will work off the books, not that I favor this hike in the first place, the law of un-intended consequences strikes again.

I think it’s assinine to allow wages to be suppressed to just a couple dollars a day with millions of illegals flowing in to work under the table, and then parade around a minimum wage act that inherently can’t reach under the table.
But still... why pile insanity on top of insanity. If there’s going to be a minimum wage, it should apply to Samoa, where “Americans” get paid less than $1 a day.

A likely result will be that tuna processing will be moved to Thailand or even China leaving the Samoans without jobs at any wage.

America’s offshore slave colonies (Guam, Samoa, Puerto Rico, USVI) only like something when it involves no taxes or free handouts.
