Is there an unofficial minimum wage for illegal immigrants?

[Mahaguru]

I learned in Economics that the market would automatically set a minimum wage if one does not exist. A minmum wage for illegal immigrants does not exist officially, so does one exist unofficially by what I learned in Economics?

If you think about some segments of our work force are entirely made up of illegal immigrants. Obviously I am taking a guess (a good one), since I don't know for sure. Take things like construction labor, fruit picking, dishwashers, etc, etc. It's crazy.

Fuck no. Illegals have no rights.

No

Technically the unofficial minimum is probably 0. I would imagine quite a few getted ripped off and never get paid with no place to complain.

Depends where they are. Look at normal wages for normal wages.

The minimum wage for illegals is the wage at which they would do as well to stay in their own country and not risk the journey here.

hhaah what a question

 

[imported_LoKe]

It's whatever they'll work for.

Around here it's about 8 bucks an hour for general labor, no questions asked.

You should read "Grapes of Wrath", which I am re-reading right now. Those okies were working for $0.10 per hour!!! Of course, that was like in 1938.

On a scale from one to ten, how special does quoting your own posts all over the forum make you feel?

I just like to be obnoxious in my United States self-righteousness because it drives libtards insane.

 

[lyssword]

I live in Texas, so I know how fucked up illegal immigration is. I grew up in Dallas (Oak Cliff - Kessler Park) and I'm now in Austin. My mom had her car totaled by illegals not once, not twice, but THREE times. I fear that their driving is worse than female Asians.

Every time an illegal totaled the car, it was a hit and run. Every time, we got their license plate numbers and had witnesses. Every time, there were no charges filed because either the driver fled to Mexico or the vehicle was stolen.

What the hell gives these illegals the idea that they can demand rights and congregate in public? Fuck, congregate all you want, but allow INS to herd the group into 18-wheelers and take them back to Mexico. Put poisonous snakes in the river, or better yet, land mines.

 

[Doctor Nyse]

Probably around $5.

And anyone that complains about illegal immigrants 'invading a foreign country' and is an American really just needs to shut up for obvious reasons.

I'm a big fan of those automated machine gun turrets that Israel is deploying along their borders.

It already has. Heh.

 

[Chunky Monster]

There should not be.

There should be no incentive for ppl to come here illegally, breaking out laws, and benefit in any way.
