Right, and isn't that telling? If you were doing something that would impact everyone, why would you not ask that they be informed as widely as possible?
I don't think it's as uncommon as a thing as you're making it out to be. It's generally understood 'muricans don't like their stories to get interrupted, kind of an unpopular thing. They've only done it since they've had to since Reagan, I suspect.
The informed people will be informed, and the uniformed people will watch Fox News like they were going to anyway
That was a good speech.
Well, that certainly made raising the minimum wage even less likely and/or intelligent, as now there will be an even larger pool of quasi-legal, unskilled workers looking to move from agriculture to retail or whatever. Unemployment goes up, and so do food prices for actual Americans, but criminals-by-definition are taken care of!
Oh, blow out your ass.
How is unemployment going up?
How many open, unskilled jobs do we have for people who can now legally work to take? If they get any, they're putting unskilled citizens out of work. If they don't, they'll keep the same jobs they have but now be paid more, increasing everyone else's costs.
edit: Imagine being a kid working a minimum wage job to save for college or to help put himself through it. His employer may now decide some damn illegal is a better long-term investment, since they're unlikely to leave, and the kid is SOL.
