Excuse me, but you are the one that morphed the argument into "It's for the children". I see now that was just a red herring: it's not "for the children", after all?
YOU are part of the problem. You don’t care at all whether or not you hire illegals. If you did, you would check.
And you aren't listening: I CAN'T CHECK!
I can check references by calling previous customers. But, I can't verify citizenship status through without incorporating a business and filing all the paperwork to become an "employer" with the resources to perform those checks.
And do you want me to stand outside every week and check every single new guy that shows up with the crew to mow my lawn? Do you have a clue what you are demanding?
Cause otherwise, you would have to clean your own house and mow your own lawn.
Has it ever occurred to you that I might not be able to clean my own house or mow my own lawn?
Oh, I see. It didn't.
You people are really sanctimonious fools.
How about you get a life, rather than harassing people that try to point out that the world isn't quite as black and white as you would like it to be?
Where do you get people who come onto your property to perform work at your private residence?
So what?

Are you not capable of asking them for business licenses, city licenses, professional references, or to see if they are insured and or bonded? Ya think typical illegal aliens are going to have these documents available to provide you?
Why are you evading these simple questions?

Good questions.
Sorry lurking, you are caught. You just don’t care if someone is illegal, just as long as the price is right.
