There is so much wrong with this statement. First, there is no data supporting that a raise in the min. wage is accompanied by higher unemployment. Since, hiring illegals is well, illegal. Min. wage law has nothing to do with attracting them. Greed and lawlessness take car of that.
Excuse me. It is almost impossible for a would be entrepreneur in a poor neighborhood to hire a helper for $15 an hour. Further, in many cases this doubling of minimum wage will force the hiring of fewer workers. Thus, jobs are denied.
Next, the higher the minimum wage the greater incentive to hire under the table illegal workers.
Under your argument a $100 minimum wage would not result in higher unemployment?
