RE: How do you reconcile demand for higher min wage vs more illegal immigration?
I understand why a politician would support both as a means to generate more votes at the polling station. Perhaps the better question is why are people willing to ignore the contradiction and throw support behind these kind of candidates despite a good chance they are metaphorically slitting their own throats? Is the draw of welfare that strong today that low skilled progressives are only too happy to go on the dole so that illegals can crowd them out of the workforce? I realize that for illegals it's a no brainer. However, for lower skilled workers here or younger people who can be easily laid off and replaced by H1B visa entrants (I understand that this is legal) or illegals - shouldn't they understand that this is a losing proposition for them? Are people really so stupid as to not understand the ramifications of making a low/unskilled job more expensive likely results in automation of the task?

This is mostly rhetorical, but I can't help but ask.
