But at the time I introduced my minimum wage. and my colleagues will look in astonishment. what did I fix as a minimum wage? I fixed 40 cents an hour because two powerful governments. the United States and the Republic of Mexico. signed a solemn bilateral agreement that Mexico would permit the exportation of this labor. single laborer. usually young. aggressive. hard working. but they could not bring their families. They had a contract that they came on. and if any of the workers resisted that contract the Immigration officials were immediately called in and they were shipped back to Mexico. Some jumped their contract and entered the illegal status. How many?
