Illegal Mexican slaves get paid under the table. Minimum wage doesn't matter.

The point is, that they don't cost that much more in Denmark, where higher paid labor creates more in demand and generates more tax revenue.

You have to pay more anyway. Inflation happens. And, higher paid labor creates more in demand and generates more in tax revenue.
