Why would you pay an illegal minimum wage? What are they going to do if you don't? Appeal to the Department of Labor?

Refuse to work for less than nine to ten an hour.

Okee says that legal migrants can do the jobs the illegals do. Completely false. If you're legal, you are entitled to min. wage. Illegals do the cheap jobs, which keeps our food cheap.

You don't know what you're talking about. Your food comes from farms that pay legal migrant workers.

And while I'm at it. That you think that illegals are coming to America to make less than minimum wage also shows how little you know about any of this. Hourly wages for illegals are about the same as they are for Americans.

The money saved comes from somewhere else. See if you can guess where it is.

I've worked with legals and illegals my entire fucking life. I want them all gone. Now.

Is it on the farms where they are running the sweat shops? I was under the impression that the 40% of farm workers who were undocumented, where making the same amount as the 60% who are documented, near as I can tell, the farmers are saying that there just aren't enough documented who are willing to do the job.

But is a $40 billion concrete wall really the best way to do that? Seems to me, you could get far more of them gone, by deploying that money on the enforcement side, rather than sinking it into concrete.

Bear in mind, $40 billion; that's three times the budget of the CIA.
