Your theory doesn't work, because as history has shown, there will always be workers that are willing to do it for cheaper. Look at China as an example of what the US would of been like had we never had a minimum wage. Yes we had sweat shops and child labor in this country. Rules, regulation and minimum wage is what brought the standard of living up not some libertarian dream of a fictional free market that has never existed in this country or any other for that matter.
