That was my point, white guys will happily ride around on a riding lawn mower. That’s easy work.

No one is doing their due diligence to ensure they aren’t hiring an illegal migrant. If you need weeds pulled, and you see a sign for someone advertising to pull weeds, you are going to call them, make a deal, and they’re going to pull weeds if you hire them.

If they barely speak English and show up with a crew of 5 that don’t speak English you aren’t going to tell them to leave.

If they only take cash, you are going to pay cash, and the weeds are getting pulled.

You also aren’t a criminal if you paid them, and they were illegal. That’s ridiculous. Nobody is asking, nobody is telling, anywhere, this isn’t a left v right thing, it’s reality, many Mexicans are willing to
Do more for less, illegal or legal.

You are a criminal if you knowingly hire an illegal. Personally I believe you are a criminal if you believe you may be hiring an illegal.

And how would you know? I don’t think illegal migrant workers are advertising that they’re illegally here.

lol, no they are not. Why should they be? I love hearing people talk about the quality of work from illegals . Automatically tells you they don’t know what they are talking about. Their lack of craftsmanship shows in every job they do, remember, you get what you pay for.

I have known hundreds of them working on construction jobs, they get paid same pay or more you would pay legal person. You think they are working for pennies on the dollars then you are lost and don't know what you are talking about.

Maybe they work with less complaints, fewer benefits, the shift hours others don’t want, and with less of a burden on workers comp claims?

The answer tends to be follow the money.

If the payroll money is the same or higher; there are other costs that are significantly less.

It is not even close to being the same. Why would anyone pay same rate for low skilled compared to skilled/highly skilled? Everyone knows they are not paid equally, do not pay taxes unless they are drawing welfare like those on work visas, and they send most of their money home therefore hurting our economy. The people who hire them knows exactly why they hire them, it dang sure isn’t for professional results!

So what happens when an illegal gets hurt or even killed while working for someone? Do the other illegals just drag them off into a ditch somewhere? I mean if they are illegal I’m sure they are not insured, what happens if they destroy your house?

That’s just it. It’s not skilled labor that many hire whoever for. Pulling weeds, mowing grass, clearing brush out of an overgrown fence line, pressure washing your driveway. All sorts of chore type work can be done by unskilled labor.

Nobody I know is asking for social security numbers for an unskilled labor job to get done. If a fence is being built, maybe 5 guys show up, 1 legal, 4 illegal. Cash is paid, fence is built, done. Done cheaper.

I wouldn’t hire just anyone to build a house and I do all of the chores around my places myself. But in 30 years I’ll probably hire it done, and I won’t be asking for a social security number, I’ll be asking for a price.

And in 30 years there will be illegal unskilled laborers here, just like there has been for decades.
