They might get another job.

People dont think holistically about the economy. They think there are jobs. When they go there are that fewer jobs. Immigrants come in a steal jobs. Etc.

But in an economy, each richer consumer creates more jobs. The McD employees now buy better food, creating work for that supply chain. Or they can pay for education. Or they buy a takeaway coffee more often.

The immigrants who come and do jobs work hard for lower pay them spend that money into the economy.

If they could get higher paying job they would already do so. No legal immigrant dreams of working at McDonalds. No illegal immigrant would be employed by McDonalds.

Why not set the minimum wage at $50? Why not set $20 for everyone?

More money in employees pockets means more jobs and more disposable income, after all.
