Looks like they're upgrading their Civics to Accords.
Sorry couldn't resist.

Silly WSJ, they reached an agreement with the Feds, not Big Latino.

In some areas of Suffolk County, you'll see white people protesting against "illegals" taking their jobs away.

$15 an hour is BS. For one, money doesn't come from nowhere. If you have to pay your employees more, you have to cut costs elsewhere or raise prices for the consumer. One way to cut costs is to cut jobs or replace them with machines, cause nobody is going to accept a pay cut. Another way is to cut back on services/amenities which will not go well with the consumer when they have to pay for things that used to be free. And of course, just raise the prices on the good/services you provide. By that point, $15 doesn't seem like a big increase for the people getting the "riase" and once things become more expensive, the people making a bit over the $15 dollar an hour mark will suddenly be having a harder time to keep up with costs.
Secondly, I'd say there's a psychological aspect. When I graduated a few years ago with a bachelors degree in architecture, I was making around $12.50 an hour, no benefits, doing actual relevant work. Not just making coffee and copies for the people in some rural office where $12.50 goes a good way. I was working on projects in an office in downtown Chicago. Suddenly people are graduating college with a bachelors degree, only to get a "minimum wage" job. The "minimum wage" label has a sort of demeaning connotation. When you think of a minimum wage job, you think of mopping floors, taking orders, delivering food... You don't associate minimum wage with going through 4+ years of college and $100k in student loans to pay off.
That's my two cents. I know it's a lot more complex than that. Take it or leave it.
