When they raise the minimum wage to 10.10 an hour - how will Republicans win seats?

How can they win on this issue? When MORE people want it raised then don't want it raised.

    Cons prefer slave labor even though they are worried that an unskilled immigrant is going to take their job

    Work on getting that education, especially in economics. By the way, Hillsdale College offers an on-line economics class. It might help you a lot. Once you understand some economics you won't ask an uninformed questions like this one.

    Increasing the minimum wage is just like increasing the price of any good or commodity offered for sale. The more it costs the less of it will be sold. Surely you know this from personal experience. The same principle applies with the cost of labor. The more labor costs, the fewer the number of people that will be employed. Now do you understand why raising the minimum wage is not a good thing in a poor economy where people are having a hard enough time getting a job?

    C'mon catch up with the rest of us Republicans. You can do it if you try.

    I don't see the connection.

    Raise the minimum wage, and unemployment will go up.

    I'd like to see the US Supreme Court strike down all minimum wage laws. They've done it before.

    I DEFY you to tell us where the federal government gets the authority to set wages for anyone not employed by it. Please provide the Article, Section or Amendment to the Constitution of the United States. BETCHA CAN'T!! How will supporting the Constitution lose seats?
