Your point is well stated..however if the guy was an illegal and we weren’t hiring them ..then the man helping to do your floor might have been an American with a job. It really is a catch twenty two when there are no guidelines established.
Yes, I wondered if he was legal. He spoke just a few words of English. Since I was not an immigration “cop”, I convinced myself to keep my mouth shut. He had to have electrical training somewhere. One just doesn’t pick up electric cords and start splicing them together without knowing what one is doing if one wants to keep living. The other guy said he doesn’t get around electricity. That problem had to be fixed or the floor wouldn’t get put in that day.
I just think when one considers a specific talented individual, it’s not that easy to kick him out. If he was illegal, okay send him back, but I would have felt bad about it. (Guess Perry would say I have a heart.)
