I rise in opposition to this rule. My colleagues. if this rule passes. we have to understand what the results of that might be. If this rule passes it may be that many farm workers. migrant workers in this country. for the first time. would not even earn a minimum wage. The minimum wage would be stricken for many migrant workers in this country. If this rule passes. it is likely that twothirds of the businesses in America would be exempt from paying minimum wage increases to their employees. If this rule passes. waiters and waitresses. laboring in Americas restaurants. will be denied any increase in the minimum wage.
