You have to go after the people who hire them.

If you can force employers to pay a fair wage then their is no incentive to hire them. It's simply businesses trying to exploit cheap labor and nobody wins, from the illegal to the American worker to the u.s. healthcare system.

I believe that the consumers would keep the costs in check, thus yielding the employer less profit. As it is and especially was (with the housing boom) houses were being built cheaply with cheap labor and the costs, IMO, were not that low.. Thus the employer obviously made money hand over fist. The way I see it, we could have had the same houses for about the same amount of money with the employer making less (because he has to pay his employees a decent wage and payroll taxes) (which btw would benefit some of these social progams that are suffering). The consumer usually controls the market, even with fuel to an extent.

You realize the more profits an employer makes the more said employer is able to create new jobs through expanding the business?

To an extent I agree. On the other hand the employer may just refrain from buying that yacht and settle on a runabout. And if he expands his business and hires more illegal aliens it's fruitless, except for the sales tax. I think it's better for the economy if documented workers or Americans are hired to work and the employer abides by the law and pays taxes on his employees.

given that I asked the question, you should have understood that your point made no sense without some context. Maybe you could provide some.

are you asking if a 16yo flipping burgers needs to be guaranteed $8/hr? If so then I will say he does not. They need to make what the job is worth, not some arbitrary amount set by politicians to buy votes.

a previous poster made a statment about eliminating minimum wage. I agreed with him and added what I said in response to his post. Meaning that I don't feel that a minimum wage is needed for 16 year old McDonalds workers. Let the market determine what that job (and similar ones) is/are worth.

I thought you were disagreeing with eradicating the minimum wage from the context. Hence, the question marks.
