Funny, the same people that advocate open borders (which results in more supply of low skilled labor) then act surprised when the price of labor doesn't rise, so they try to legislate by fiat.

If we hadn't had so much immigration these last 20 years, we'd probably have a de facto minimum wage of over $10 per hour.

If we hadn't had so much immigration these last 20 years, we'd probably have a de facto minimum wage of over $10 per hour.

If we didn't have a minimum wage that was enough to support an entire family in Mexico, we'd probably not have the massive immigration problem we do. Getting rid of the freebie "minority" entitlements would also do as much as any fence could do to staunch the tide of illegal migrant workers.
