the solution to illegal immigration is to get rid of the minimum wage

  1. The solution to illegal immigration is to increase the minimum wage and implement a strong enforcement program against employers who hire illegals. Increasing the wage, along with a decrease in the hiring of day labor caused by strong enforcement, will create an incentive for immigrants to want to either get naturalized or get their worker's visa.

    More money is the best human incentive there is. Increase the minimum wage and create a path for immigrants to become legal, and illegal immigration will dry up.
