How do you avoid participating in the American economy? Do you live in New Zealand?
Rod, I can't control what others engage in - and what I indirectly partake in may have had illegals' help along the way, that's on someone else's conscience (if they have one) - but I can refuse to hire and I can report the hiring of known illegals when it is in my power to do so.
Believe me, during the hurricane and ice storm cleanups of recent years, I've had many chances to hire people whom I know after the fact to be illegal because my neighbors hired them dirt cheap and nobody but illegals will work for six an hour.
It took over three weeks to clean up my one-acre lot from Floyd, but I did it without the aid of one illegal alien. Tough for me? Maybe, but I'm no felon - yet.
