"Find a way? Isn't tax evasion a crime in the states???"

Yes indeed it is. I don't know why these employers are not prosecuted. Everyone knows this scam goes on. It is common knowledge and there is basically no fear of prosecution.

I ask myself why there isn't a tax officer assigned to every established "day worker pick up area" to check the tax info on potential employers and potential employees. They send tax officers around to flea markets and antique shows to check that vendors have their paperwork and are actively collecting a few measly bucks of sales tax but you'll never see one at any of these day worker pick up areas. Makes you wonder what the heck is going on.
