You make a good point:

"illegal immigrants might be more willing to do the job off the books at a lower rate then the new higher minimum wage.

Or if the increase in the minimum wage is modest it will likely have almost no effect on immigration."

The story that the FMSM seemed uninterested in covering is that after the Swift raids hundreds of US citizens lined up to get the jobs that the illegal immigrants had. So much for "doing jobs that Americans don't want".
