Border security priorities on display (updated)
The Obama Administration is more concerned with illegals being paid fairly than they are that they are here in the country illegally.
Update:
The "paid fairly" mantra sounds a lot to me like Obama's "spread the wealth" comment to Joe The Plumber, because both are such vague ideals they are inherently left open to interpretation.
What exactly does "paid fairly" mean?
Solis could have said specifically, a minimum wage, but that wasn't the point.
It was to establish that people are entitled to be paid what they believe they are worth, and if that's the case, you have workers nationwide whom albeit are paid beyond the legal standard, don't necessarily believe they are paid fairly.
I also think that while Solis said "workers who are documented or not" this video was clearly geared towards illegals, notice the tasks being performed in the video: working in a kitchen, doing nails, washing a car, working at a construction site, working in a field.
The Obama Administration is sending a dangerous message by pledging it's allegiance to the illegal aliens in this country, their actions say clearly, we're on your side. We're going to make things more comfortable for you at ICE detention centers, we want to make sure you're getting "paid fairly", and we're against our states enforcing immigration laws.
