You're right. The law needs to go after white business owners who hire and exploit Mexicans by not paying them true market wages, all in the name of padding their bottom line. I agree with you, a two pronged approach like this is needed to get rid of the illegal immigrants.
Arizona should sue the feds for not enforcing the border per the constitution!
Why? Is that when sock puppet accounts go on sale?
"True market wages". Who decides what "true market wages" are? Doesn't the LABOR MARKET decide that? As in, laborers are willing to work for this much, thus deciding what is the "true market wage".
Minimum wage is NOT the "true market wage". It's an anti-protectionist, inflation-causing tax on the poor. The $2/hr that workers are actually willing to work for is the "true market wage".
OBAMA cares!Who cares what Mexico thinks about Arizona law? They have enough problems of their own to deal with.
When the owners get to pay people under the table, and those people don't have to pay taxes on their pay like the rest of us, then that is not a true market wage.
If the workers are willing to work for it, then it is.
If the workers want more, they can ask for more and the employers can consider giving it. It's called negotiation, and the labor market will find its own equillibrium dependent upon what is amiable to both employee and employer.
Tax evasion is a different issue and both employees and employers should be fined, deported, or jailed for such.
