Would at least solve some of the "problems" with illegal immigrants.

"Every economist knows that minimum wages either do nothing or cause

Tripling minimum wage --> unemployment --> less reason for illegals
to be here. With a tripled minimum wage, the off-the-books jobs
would tend to have higher wages and more would go to people whose
native tongue is English.
