Re: Hiring day laborers
 

ive done this before as well. i needed to paint a rental house. pulled up to home depot where the illegals hang out and got SWARMED by the guys. they jumped in my car. i had to start yelling at them to get out.

i picked one guy and paid him $10/hr. i figured that was too much but when we got to the house he busted his hump. i gave him a tip and bought him lunch. he was happy as could be and so was i.

Can't we think of taking advantage of the reduced laborer wage as a way to make up for the fact that Uncle Sam is taking our money and not doing anything about the problem?

This could get interesting.

Another thing to remember with day laborers, they aren't going to have health insurance, so you are assuming some risks with injury as well. A few years back I was working as a landscaper for the summe rand we'd always talk with the other crews at the gas station in the morning. One morning one of the other guys was obviously distracted, turns out one of his (illegal) day laborers dropped the gate of the truck down and ripped off a couple fingers. The guy who hired him had to just drop him at the hospital and hope he would be able to get cared for. Too much liability if he actually waited around to make sure the guy was ok. I stopped working at that job before I ever heard anything else about it.
