Now that the trial of Scott Peterson has taken a break (For those who are interested, he was found guilty. They will hold separate hearings to decide whether to execute him or jail him for life.) I thought I could watch the news here without being utterly amazed. Apparently not. This is an actual polll question that was asked on Lou Dobbs tonight, a program on CNN.

Do you believe raising the minimum wage would attract more U.S. citizens to industries now dominated by illegal aliens?

As of now, the “yes” vote is running at 79%.
