[quote=Anonymous]The issue with minimum wage is that when minimum wage is raised, jobs are lost. It is especially tough on small businesses. And, some medium sized businesses already are struggling with new healthcare regulations. There are a few potential outcomes when minimum wage is increased. Businesses may send more jobs overseas, where they can pay less. That is a hit on our economy. Some businesses may decrease payroll through attrition. They may decrease benefits, offer less hours to employees, cut jobs while expecting more of retained employees, etc.. No matter what, something has to give. Liberals live in a dream world where there are unlimited funds.

[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If the voters of California are okay with benefits being extended to individuals who entered the country illegally then that it how a democracy is supposed to work.  They can have a ballot initiative to change this situation or elect different representatives to send to Sacramento.  BTW, I am accepting at face value that this is true.

I am not going to respond to an unsupported opinion about the complex interplay between immigration and wages.  [b]I would ask however why the GOP is uniformly opposed to a living minimum wage if there's such concern[/b].[/quote]

OP here, maybe you haven't read the whole thread, but I am not a Republican. I am a registered Dem and I agree that the GOP has failed miserably on this issue. So have the Dems.

Please don't take my word on CAPI: http://www.cdss.ca.gov/cdssweb/Pg42.htm

More than half of all immigrants (legal) receive welfare, which suggests to me that business are not offering a living wage or benefits. We as a society are the one who end up paying for the benefits (through welfare) that business ought to be paying for.
