Swampman;
Although you may have cultivated some close friendships..or perhaps are benefiting monetarily, from the low pay scale; please remember you are dealing with people that have no compunctions over doing something illegal..willing criminals..
Please also remember that many of these have stolen honest American's identities..and caused much misery for many innocent fellow Americans !
Yes; they will work for less money !
Just how much would each of us need if we paid NO taxes, NO workman's compensation, NO F.I.C.A....and had no need to pay for our own health/hospitalization insurance !...To say nothing about how much some of them save by driving without a driver's license or insurance !
They are competing unfairly with law abiding Americans. especially those in the lower economic strata...those that need the jobs most !!!
Frankly, any employer is found that carries these ILLEGALS "off the books", avoiding the aforementioned deducts...he should be investigated and be made to pay back to the Social Security system etc....the full estimated cost of his "deceptions" since he has been in business...only fair..
Let them be at least as honest as the immigrants from Thailand, Ireland, Poland, Hungary, Nigeria, Vietnam, India and a hundred other countries have been..apply, prove themselves, wait
their turn and come in honestly, just like the rest !
I don't know how you view folks that "buck the line" ? Most decent people resent such characters !
