The US cannot afford to pay decent wages AND be engaged in free trade, AND give consumers the prices they want. I happen to agree with where I think you are headed, but it can't be done here, practically speaking. X@that'swhythegiantsuckingsoundyouhereisjobsleavingtheUS

Croc - I'm assuming you are in Canada? I think you have me all wrong here. The current system exploits people. They have to hope that they are not caught and sent back to Mexico now, even though they are doing work here in the US that makes everyone richer. I think we need to recognize this, and bring them in to the system. That doesn't exclude them from being paid more. It makes it more likely that they will be paid more. I'm sure many now are not paid the minimum wage. This can be the path to end that.
