I know that all the American fruit pickers and dish washers who have had their $6/hr job taken from them want it for sure.
Let's face it guys, these rates we're talking about here are barely affected by illegals. That's like being concerned that part time summer jobs for teenagers is at a new low. They're talking about primarily GROWN UP jobs here. Always remember, just because someone is hispanic, he's not necessarily an illegal that's working here because the employer is paying him less... he may have been born here, and have a better education than you do.
This isn't an illegal immigration issue in the least. It's a hosed economy issue.
Supply and demand my man. My point is that if you have an endless supply of labor and a 3% or less growth rate in job creation, all wages will be affected. And they won't be to most peoples' advantage.
