President. the whole purpose of the Minimum Wage Act is to increase the wages of working Americans. particularly lowskilled workers who are paid minimum wagelevel salaries and who are having a difficult time. That is a noble goal because I dont think their salaries have gone up as much as we would like. One of the reasons. as I discussed earlier and will discuss again before this debate concludes. that those salaries have lagged behind is because of a large influx of illegal immigrant labor. That Is indisputable. and it has not been discussed much. People apparently dont want to talk about it.
