I can only assume this couple tried to be above board and pay her “on the books,” as opposed to the approach 90% of Manhattanites do it, fostering illegals and paying them with a weekly wad of cash “under the table.” Firing an illegal is quick and clean, as neither side has a vested interest in making an issue out of it. It’s ironic how the legal approach screws you in California.

they better hope that letting someone live in their home gratis in exchange for some work is legal... otherwise they are in really deep crap... according to the article, they were paying her by letting her live there... they should go on Judge Judy...
