The super smart HAA-VARD professor, Pokey-hauntus, wants to know why the minmum wage isn't $22 an hour.
....and HAA-VARD paid her $400 thousand a year to be this stupid.

Send 20 million illegal aliens packing and the shortage of labor will drive up wages.....the government will collect more taxes....cut out government freebies because there will be plenty of jobs available....balance the national budget.....pay off national debt.....and everything will be well again.
OOOPS....that'll show that capitalism and conservative values work and socialism doesn't .....so super smart people, like DUmmies and HAA-VARD professors, won't go for that.

My Big Gulp would cost $5! That's why! ;)

So says the Harvard poser.

Sounds like a great way to restore the Pound Sterling to the exchange rate of about 1890, and move the Mexican Peso an order of magnitude closer to parity.

Why isn't it $20 million/hr and not a penny less?! This so-called HarVard professor is obviously a crypto-con!!!
:ohnoes:
My position is the only truly liberal position. Everyone at the DUmp who disagrees with my should be immediately TS'd!
I know most lurking DUmmies won't see this but this is the one sure-fire mole trap.

If they would ACTUALLY enforce the laws against illegal labor, the wages might go up, in a supply and demand fashion. Yes prices would fluctuate, but would most likely stabilize pretty quickly, but if "jobs Americans won't do" (one of my top three hated phrases) paid better, then wages across the board would go up, and actually have a foundation in SOMETHING besides federal fiat.
My plan:
1) Make hiring illegals economic suicide, something like a $1M fine per illegal that works for you. Fine doesn't apply if you participate in eVerify and keep the records for all employees(except in egregious cases like 50 john smiths with the same ssn), your illegal employees get deported.
2) Make welfare a bare bones safety net. You wanna live high on the hog, you gotta work. Same for food stamps. No increases for more children beyond a reasonable number, say 3.
3) Require proof of citizenship before you can qualify for even that level of welfare.
Make the environment hostile to those who would violate the law and there will be less incentive to do so.

1) Love it!
2) drop it to 1 child and I'm on board.
3) We can't even pass voter ID, this will go over like lead...
