Sounds like something the Department of Labour could legislate... Or could have.
But the supreme court just ruled that this falls under the courts jurisdiction and there's a snowflakes chance in hell that a case pushed high and far enough will result in those ghouls will rule in favour of labour interests.
Yeah, I don't think SCOTUS would side with an IRS or Labour Department rule requiring businesses pay minimum wage. But you're forgetting the "racist" angle: the courts would love nothing more than to support a State Department determination that they are "immigrant workers" and require a work visa.
