Either that or they crunch to automate. Illegal immigration is as inevitable as the drug trade so long as there's a demand for labor which is willing to work below the minimum. Either the solution is to legitimize immigrant workers, or it's to get rid of the minimum wage.

Hey and Brady wins either way.

Yay Libertarianism.

hate coming in political palace anymore

That's not really fair, Mikey. Yeah, according to him, his ideals will win in either situation, but neither one will come to pass. He's doing the economic version of vore fetishism - it's easy to call yourself kinky when you make up a fetish you can never act out on.

And in the meantime illegals cause leprosy.

You know I love you guys. :3:

That explains why they love Jesus so much.

:racism:

Some of them say you can see the Virgin Mary in their sores.

See, I still only see her in my toast. No fair.

Can't you also try to prevent illegal immigration?

Of course you can try, but until the legitimate methods are more attractive than human smuggling to the smugglees you can't stop it. Also we're talking about miracle sores here, so get with the program.

No I think that stopping illegal immigration is good because it clears up our borders and allows people that deserve to come through legally.

Plus it makes sure that when they come over they can speak english because I get upset sometimes when I'm trying to go to the store and buy something and they person that's helping me doesn't speak the same language I do (english for you ignorants) and I don't get mad I try not to because it's not their fault and I know they are disadvantaged because of it and it's not their fault and I can respect them for that and trying so hard.

At the current state of immigration policy, the only way you could conceivably stop all illegal immigration is to shoot them on sight.

Myself or the government?

Because I think "at sight" would entail other alternatives if you're talking about the government.

It wouldn't be much of a stretch to classify them as invaders and have them shot by the Border Patrol. It would deter all save the most absolutely desperate and dent the Coyote business, but then there's the whole killing people thing.

Darn they people ignorants who not speakin any english.

I don't even think Dickens wrote sentences of that length.

It shouldn't be so funny that the guys who insist on english-speaking immigrants can barely speak the language themselves.

It really shouldn't.

Wut's the matter Jorje, you can't speak inglish good?

Oh yeah lol I know what you mean! Like when ignorants try and tell black people of african american descent that they're not speaking english properly because they use slang is stupid! It's just slang! Get over it! :p

Ok, I read the whole thread, and I'm not exactly sure who's arguing what. it seems to have deviated quite a bit from the original topic, at any rate!

So before I jump in, am I right in assuming that BlueMikey thinks the minimum wage destroys jobs, while everyone else thinks it will make everyone better off?

So that's black people English?

I really don't know. I haven't gone to the hood recently, my nizzy.

Are you sure you read the whole thread?

Apparently not as well as I thought, since I confused you for Bradylama :tpg:

:smack:

Ok, so what's the consensus? The minimum wage is good? Or is the minimum wage bad? Someone, please summarize!

The consensus is I'm fighting windmills.

Here's a chart I knocked up on the data located in:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of..._minimum_wages

Anyone care to draw some conclusions? :D

That looks to have a correlation of about 0.
