Two Republican senators have joined Democrats to call for a minimum wage increase to $15. Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah) said he, along with Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.), will introduce a bill that will authorize a gradual increase to the $15 minimum wage and ensure that illegal immigrants can’t be hired for the same jobs.
“Millions of Americans are struggling to make ends meet. I’m introducing a bill with @SenTomCotton that would increase the minimum wage while ensuring businesses cannot hire illegal immigrants. We must protect American workers,” Romney wrote on Twitter.
