It is illegal for anyone to pay someone less than minimum wage, and wither
you agree with it or not, you should not break the law. If someone knows an
employer who is breaking the law, they should turn them in so they can be
prosecuted. Why should an employer pay more than the market price for
labor? I know there are many skilled Mexican construction workers who earn
substantially more than minimum wage. I replaced tile in my bathroom and
the contractor was paying the Mexican $35/hr plus benefits. If an unskilled
worker wants to earn more than minimum wage, he needs to learn a skill and
increase his value.

Gould,
Do you have something against unskilled Mexicans who are willing to work
for minimum wage?

He's just showing the typical liebral snobbery.

If mexicans are willing to come here and work 12 hours a day for 4 bucks
an hour, live with 5 others and send half the money home....so what.

They most likely consider it a step up from the $5 a DAY that they were
making at home. It is the liebrals that don't want that sort of
immigration, because it kills their union thug donations.

We should have a similar "weighting" system when people try to
immigrate here. But the liberals would have a fit and claim that we
are being "discriminatory"...

Dave

When people try to immigrate here, the most important test is whether
they are
willing to work for some member of the Chamber of Commerce down in San
Diego or
some wealthy rancher in AZ for about
half the federal minimum wage. Then its all about nod nod, wink wink,
you *did*
have a
SSN#, didn't you?

The conservative business community is the number one promoter of
questionable
immigration into the US. Their greed for workers willing to work at
starvation
wages enables the "immigrants".
