When the US government devalued the dollar so that minimum wage was no longer an affordable living wage for European men to satiate the European women's wants.
Raising the minimum wage will only incentivize even more foreigners to work in the US. To survive we need to either close the border or cut welfare. Ideally we would do both.
"Raising" the minimum wage does nothing but to raise the cost of living - as if "giving people more money" will somehow "make services cheaper".
True but people still fall for the trick. My point stands that foreigners will come to America for the raised minimum wage, despite the higher cost of living. Foreigners don't worry about that because they live with 7 people in a studio apartment, don't pay hospital bills, get free food, get free college tuition, etc.
