Then why come up with the idea? He's setting himself up for ridicule, which isn't media bias. It's the truth.

imagine there is no minimum wage... what point would there be in hiring illegal immigrants? Why would anyone risk fines, etc and do that? by creating high minimum wage you make it worthwhile for employers to hire illegal immigrants... why pay $15/hr, when you can hire illegal immigrant for $10/hr?

What illegal migrant is going to the police to complain he's noty being paid the legal wage? You're setting yourself up for ridicule.

It probably would be somewhat effective, but I'm not sure I like that plan... it just feels wrong to fine employers for doing what is best, hiring cheaper and more productive workers... doesn't it feel a bit lame to fine employers for hiring Jose who will pick 20 boxes of oranges for $100/day over Mike who will pick 10 boxes of oranges for $200/day? it's kinda like dangling a "forbidden fruit" in front of employers, then fining them for eating it...

It would be far more effective and cheaper. He was asked this question and ignored it.
no it's better to employ Mike, take him off benefits and he spends his wages in the US rather than sends them back to Mexico. It's not good for the Farmer employing Mike, but that's why migration has been allowed for so long. You're setting yourself up for ridicule.
If you think hiring the cheapest worker is best. Then you have to love the model that worked in Russia, France, Cuba and other places. Until the poor picked up a gun . Americans have a lot of guns and if you think there's a point at which cutting wages to a minimum stops. You're setting yourself up for ridicule.
The best economy for everyone is where wealth is created and trickles down. Not one where wealth is created at the expense of customers income. Unless the wealthy lend the not so well off the money to buy the goods.
Then the Lenders, Banks, hold the customers balls in a vice like grip. Leaving people like Trump with no chance of pulling off any of his plans. I assume you know how the Bond Markets work.
