"So don't pay attention to the approval ratings that say 68% of Americans disapprove of the job this man is doing. I ask you this, does that not also logically mean that 68% approve of the job he's not doing? Think about it. I haven't."
— Stephen Colbert, at the White House Correspondent's Dinner 29Apr06

New They don't need to be
After all, with their ownership of the legislature, they will get to choose what said minimum wage will be for the guest workers...

And it's not even remotely close to slave labour; with slaves, you have to house 'em and feed 'em and generally look after their health care if you want to keep 'em productive. With a large surplus quasi legal labour pool you don't need to do any of those things.
