And the employers are actually already breaking the law for employing such people. It shouldn't be going beyond that, and yet we never see politicians making that point, because it's apparently a no-no to call out corporations for their actions at this point in American history.

Edit: and also, at least in the case of who I was talking about, they'd never suggest wages were too low across the board. They're secure in their scapegoat. We aren't really disagreeing, I don't think, but this issue runs deeper because there are ideologies at play that do not adhere to logic.
