What those studies show is that small increases to the minimum wage do not have the predicted effect of reducing employment in the affected positions. But I'm not sure you can extrapolate those results to show that employers currently paying below minimum wage to illegal immigrants would employ the same number of legal employees at a much higher wage if forced to do so.

I'm not sure you can either. For that point, I was relying on Krugman.
