best thing to do is pass a law that makes minimum wage only applicable to U.S. citizens, and allow these people in legally on special work visas

I think that's waaay off. A town 7 miles away from here has a Tyson plant, and they pay $13.50 minimum, with bennies. They employ so many illegals, it's amazing. These people are _not_ working for minimum wage.

It's a total scam. Somehow they know ahead of time when the INS is going to be coming through. That day, about 1/3 of the staff mysteriously doesn't show up for work. I don't know how they can get away with it, but it p!isses me off. They're not taking any job from me or anyone I know, but the fact that they're breaking the law and putting legitimate citizens at risk is enough to deport every damn one of them.
