While $210 is quite a low pay scale, qualified people will not work for it and *many* others who do work for it are overpaid. Just visit a business where you have entry level workers including fast food places and you can see that they should be the one's paying their employers for giving them an opportunity to work.
Secondly, a price wage increase will force layoff in low paying jobs. Its better for a business person to let one employee go and divide that salary between workers left while trying to improve productivity!
Lastly, if we can get our people to take advantage of their high school education, learn some manners, stop teiffin' your bosses time and goods and stop having children without higher level education, employers might be willing to pay a little bit more without being forced by government!
It seems very unlikely that both police AND Immigration would coordinate an operation in the early morning hours, without active intelligence. I would expect a more investigative editorial that seems less like a one sided propaganda piece! Whatever happened to giving the benefit of the doubt!
Its hard to feed a population of more than 1 billion people. China is only interested in China's best interest. I hope out people learn something from them, cause we can only grow onions and tomatoes!
