What are the real details of the executive order?
There have been other posts that said compassion means to do nothing for these people like give them the legal opportunity to work but that they knew they would live in a shadow society and be paid substandard wages to do jobs that Americans will not do. Is this the compassion our churches teach us? Is this the compassion we have taught our children and they pass onto their children?

This doesn't answer your question but I think it helps keep wealth in perspective.

MEXICO CITY (AP) — Mexico City's mayor has proposed increasing the country's roughly $5 per-day minimum wage to $6 a day.
Mayor Miguel Angel Mancera suggested Thursday that the city raise the 67.29 peso minimum wage to 82.86 pesos per day. That's about the price of a hamburger meal at a chain restaurant in Mexico.
Mancera says low wages are "at the heart of all of the country's economic and social problems."
