I’m waiting to see how this plays out. Remember, Henry Ford started paying his folks enough to buy his cars. Get rid of illegals and implement real fair trade and wages will naturally go up.

Henry Ford made a private decision for his private business to pay more than other businesses. Not because the government required him to. Also, that wasn't so his employees could buy the cars, it was more about labor retention and cutting non-direct labor costs. By the way, how did his pay compare to minimum wage? Oh wait, it didn't - there was no minimum wage until almost 25 years later!
