"some of whom explicitly advocate for increasing the minimum wage because it reduces employment opportunities, halting future waves of illegal immigration and encouraging those already here to return to their countries of origin."

Best line in the article!

Let's retard the economy so we can get rid of immigrants. Hell yeah! :rock:

Uhhh, I didn't realize we were talking about abolishing licensing.

LOL at seeing an RN when you were just arguing for strict licensing. I know someone who has to pay $100 to see a doctor every time her shingles flare up, just so he can write her a scrip. She doesn't wanna hear about an over-prescribed nation and she scoffs at your opinion that cheap options do exist.

Why doesn't she simply go to a Walmart for a shingles injection that would either stop or reduce the severity of the flare ups? No prescription needed.

Maybe the poster who asked him about it? If you don't care, there is no need to respond. I would guess you do care, but you don't have anything better to say.

Saying "I don't care" to someone who wasn't talking to you is probably the most useless response possible.

Still equating legal immigrants to illegal immigrants, how bigoted are you?

wtf. IDC care if they are legal or not. Minimum wage will hurt the strength of the economy and scare off both kinds of immigrant. We don't want to lose either.

IDK enough about it, but I would assume her doctor never told her this was an option, if it is indeed an option that would work for her.

I agree with you on the helmet thing. Dude had a motorcycle wreck and smacked his head on the pavement recently. Didn't feel a thing as his gray matter was scattered about 15 feet from what had been his head. Oh well.... choices

What is wrong with scaring off illegal immigrants?

Well, we definitely don't want to cut off our nose to spite our face. Minimum wage increase to $15 would be cutting off our nose.

Also, losing out on cheap labor would have negative effects on the economy as well.

How does anyone expect the lower classes to EVER get ahead if there is always a pool of illegal labor suppressing their wage growth?

Honestly, I'm to the point that I think we might be better off if we implemented welfare for anybody who wants it if we can get an unfettered market in return.

Lower classes don't get ahead by staying low-skilled, with or without the presence of illegals. They get ahead by improving on their skill set and making themselves more attractive to employers.

I am talking about organic wage growth. The world needs ditch diggers but illegal workers create an artificially suppressed wage base that drags down wages for citizens in those sectors.
