Slightly higher costs, and slightly lower company profits Come on, you left out "slightly fewer employees". Hate to see the well off folks pay a little extra for stuff, but it would be nice to see the working poor have a little disposable income. We'd all pay more for stuff, and its not even clear if the increased prices would eliminate all of the theoretical increased wages. If the low end of the scale gets a 10% raise, but fruits, veggies and meat go up by 12%, and there are less jobs, not sure you've really accomplished anything. Do you know anyone that actually wants a job held by an illegal, or is this all theoretical discussion?
