    Their employer is ensuring that they are taking home no less than minimum wage

    You are assuming their employer is on the up and up. If they are not willing to pay them AT LEAST minimum wage, what makes you think they are going to make up the difference?

      Yes, I’m assuming they’re obeying labor laws of the United States. Businesses operating illegally are kind of outside of the scope of the conversation, don’t you think?
