considering the location of Samoa, I have to agree.

Right now the local plant here hires illegals for $2.30 an hour because nobody will report them, and there's plenty to work for that wage since they can't really get a job anywhere else (they're aliens)

I am always amused by things that are done on a principle - until that becomes too inconvenient.

Republicans never campaigned on the idea that the people need this increase in pay.
