I travel to Switzerland a few times a year for work, they aren't part of the EU and don't have open borders like how you're implying.

Yeah, and each adult male citizen, is issued a rifle to keep and maintain and is part of The National Militia. They aren't like other European Countries.

If they have that many workers, that are commuting from France, I'm thinking that this wage increase will apply mostly to them. Sort of a per diem type thing maybe?
I've wondered at times though, if we did have a higher minimum wage here, would it draw some people off of welfare? and would we be better off in the long run, by getting these people in the work force.
