"What would you do when increasing minimum wage increases unemployment, increases the demand for imported goods, and increases the demand for illegal immigrant labor?"

Can you point to a case where any of this has happened? A hike in minimum wage doesn't seem to have any net negatives. Sure, you can point to cases where unemployment went up after a hike, but there are plenty of cases where it went down after one. Likewise with the other metrics you point to with the possible exception of imported goods, which have been on a steady rise for decades.
