That's a bummer--not being able to evict tenants. I guess it'd be smart not to rent to illegals in the first place.
How do you know they were illegal?
I wish you would share your wisdom with the homeowners who hire illegals to work in their homes. Of course, these homeowners have many excuses, such as "it's the contractor's responsibility to weed out the illegals."
It strains credulity to believe that despite having illegals working in his property for several days, a homeowner will never suspect that the illegal workers have immigration problems.
I believe that US Representative Trancredo needs some of your wisdom.
There is a whole raft of Federal and state laws pertaining to how landlords are allowed to screen tenants. Anything that smacks of racial discrimination will bring the full weight of the government down on the landlord's head.
Damned if you do, damned if you don't.
