Part of the reason that a lot of illegals can undercut everyone else in lawn service and construction is that they take cash and then don't report it.

And I have hired them to do exactly that. They do good work.

"They do good work."

They do CRAP work. I have seen dozens of small business loose money until they close because of employing these criminals. The men all work at a snails pace and constantly bitch. The women work slightly faster and spend less time complaining. This goes on until they get the idea they can sue for some "slip and fall" type lawsuit. I will never forget one place I worked picked up some Illegals to tear down a few wooden storage sheds and clean up a parking lot. After 20 minutes of "work" one had swung a pick into his leg and another had hit a third with a sledge hammer in the shoulder.

We sent them packing before we were forced to call the coroner.

Actually they do sh*tty work at just about anything except lawn mowing and gutter cleaning. I have never seen such lousy sloppy concrete work, framing, road paving, etc. I will give you credit, however. They do good work at ruining our schools, hospitals, and neighborhoods. They're VERY good at that.

In general, they do lousy work. There are some that are skilled, but as a whole, their work is slip-shod. Today a painter, yesterday a framer...last week a mason. Thats why the housing in California is a bunch of junk compared to elsewhere with real craftsmen.

My brother is probably the only landscaper in America that hires legals, white citizens. He has to hustle tremendously 12-15 hour days because they have a monopoly on the landscaping business and I am so sure they are running it by the book, license, etc. NOT!

You are part of the problem, Harry. They will claim Social Security benefits soon enough, and you're on record as intentionally cheating Social Security by NOT paying into it your "fair share." You are a law-breaker, Harry.

What is the fine for an employer who intentionally refuses to pay his portion of the Social Security tax?

Uh, Harry, I hate to break the bad news to you but knowingly hiring illegal aliens is punishable by a $5,000 fine plus payment of their back taxes owed. We'll send the IRS right over to your house, OK?

When you hire an illegal alien, you might as well be buying foreign goods and services. A large chunk of their illegally earned, untaxed dollars is put into postal money orders and shipped off to Mexico. This is causing a huge, multi-billion dollar balance-of-payments drain for the United States. That money is also not available to be spent for goods and services in the USA which pay for other American jobs in this country.

What you are doing is no different than buying cheap Chinese goods made by slave child labor.

You're a great guy, Harry,...not! You're a sniveling cheapskate who is part of the problem!!
