Re: Cleaning lady steals from me -- can I go to the cops?
 

I have a better solution.

"Senora, tu robaste $1,000 mio. O me lo pagas o voy a llamar a immigracion y mandarte de nuevo para Mexico o de donde cono viniste a la velocidad de un jodio cohete."

Rehearse in front of the mirror.

After she pays you back, fire her and change your locks.

(Translation: "Ma'am, you stole my $1,000. Either you pay it back or I'm gonna call immigration and they're going to send you back to Mexico or wherever the [censored] you came from at the speed of rocket.")

Employers have to pay payroll taxes too, and social security.

Does she have any family or friends in the country? If she's alone, I would recommend kidnapping her and torturing her to death in your basement.

The cops don't care about her immigration status or your tax issues

You're not her emplyer, you are her client. You are paying for services, not employing somebody. Paying in cash is perfectly legal. No you don't have to file a report with the IRS every time you get your lawn mowed, oil changed, walls painted, or dick sucked.

Sometimes the law sees things differently.

People are often determined as employees and file suit successfully on that basis. I used to work in a workers' comp /personal injury law firm and saw housemaids, house painters, and nannys regularly considered employees and thus able to file suit.

Go to the cops. They're not going to ask you how you paid her. You have proof she stole from you and that's that.

If you still decide you need a cleaning lady, go to a reputable place, like Merry Maids or something. That way you know they're at least citizens.

And you couldn't see something like this coming? If you have some doubt, get a safe. If you felt pretty strongly, fire her arse.

Guys he can't really do anything about it if she's an illegal, since nobody will know where she is.

If I could find, the threaten deportation sounds good. If it was a guy I'd be happy to show him why it'd be smart to pay.

For me it's about the principle. The $1k doesn't matter so much.
