You work hard and you have the right to be paid fairly. I'm US Secratary of Labor Hilda L. Solis and it is a serious problem when workers in this country are not being paid every cent they earn. Remember, every worker in America has a right to be paid fairly, whether documented or not. So, call us, it is free and confidential, at 1-800-487-9243. We can help.

This whole thing is just provocation. That's all it could be. Who decides what is a fair wage? What are they going to do about it if somebody does decide it isn't a fair wage? And what is mean when a worker is not being paid every cent they earn? Maybe they are paying taxes or social security. And that's way before we even start thinking about "undocumented" workers who are violating the law by being employed, secondly, and being here at all, firstly. Any employed illegal knows that his legal cousin who hired him is breaking the law. What's he going to do, turn him in to the government for not paying him enough?
No, this is a provocation, just like our Obamination president, designed to excite people's outrage and hopefully, provoke some kind of controllable reaction.
