Quote: A closed boarder is just as racist as a minimum wage in my opinion(minimum wage in this country was implemented to keep Blacks and Orientals from underbidding whites in the labor market).Meh, IDK, that's a bit too far out there for me. Nothing intrinsically racist about a minimum wage, the manner in which some government may go about setting one would be another story.
