Believe it or not there are actual laws regarding hiring illegals.


And the penalty for hiring them must not be cost prohibitive at this point OR no one would be hiring them...

Criminal charges


Not sure I would go criminal, but sure would fine the shite out of them as well as pull licenses.

This along with H1Bs is maybe top 100 on my things I give a shite about list.

Some of you baws need to quit worrying about whatever Woke Right is currently melting about on X.

Most of them are OnlyRons and GOPEcucks trying to distract you.

Your focus should be on getting Trump's cabinet confirmed.

Get a grip on yourselves.

Kid who does my plumbing work is on his way to establishing real wealth for his family.

The caveat to any tradesman is solid reliable work at a fair price.

A kid 18 goes through 4 years of apprenticeship can top out and work anywhere in the country. Also while you in school you work.

Send you kids to college, take out loans, hope they pick a field AI won’t take over. Sure someone will have to build the plants, work the shutdowns and outages. Promise those guys aren’t poor.

The government wants their tax money sir.

Believe it or not most these people aren’t getting paid under the table cash. They pay into the system just like everyone else.

I'm all for the trades. But this is not the same thing.

99 percent of the people who go into trades don't start their own companies and just work for other people at an hourly rate.

These discussions always conflate the dude who has is own HVAC company with the hourly worker.



I started with zero. I was the hourly guy. Then I started my own company. After I quit being an engineer. I don't see the difference.

I would favor exemptions for Mexican restaurants. Love that shite. Don't want to have to spend more than $10 for some huevos rancheros.

This absolutely needs to happen. Illegals will come as long as jobs are available.

I'm all in on securing the border. Hope the Trump administration crushes all the contractors and companies employing illegals.


Should the government also go after everyone who hired said contractors knowing illegal labor was being utilized?

Curious as to your opinion on this.

What responsibility do I have if I knowingly allow illegals to perform work on my house? How am I not just as criminally liable?

If I hire a contractor, is he not acting as my agent when hiring his subs?

If you own a good Mexican restaurant or a landscaping business I've used then you should be exempt.
