Honest? How the hell do you define "honest?" They knowingly violated our laws including entering illegally, working illegally, committing ID theft, evading taxes, lying on employment forms, using phony or stolen SSNs, etc. Many of these crimes are felonies.
Let's call them what they are: lawbreakers.
Those that I worked with recently in Portland were hired by a tree farm...very hard work. They were decent people and did not do all those things that you mentioned. Actually, many businesses want them be wise they work their asses off for lower wages. That is not a good thing and of course they broke the law vetting in here illegally...but they are not often times, the villains that you are portraying. That is a fact. Sometimes, yes, they are. Often times, not.
“Honest” workers apply in their own country for this little thing called a “green card”-a work permit-before they come here. Not to do so is DIShonest, no matter what else that person may be-and the employer who hires them is an even worse lawbreaker...
