Yep, this is why I'm against min wage. When I used to pick Mexican guys up as a landscraper in college, they wouldn't even get in the truck for less than $14 per hour.

People think that employers would take advantage of workers without min wage, and it's just not true (most of the time). In fact, the min wage enables them to do just that now since real market wages are above min wage laws.
