Re: Is It Worth Hiring Ilegals?
That sure looks like a lot of work capitalizing all them letters. All my guys are illegals, sometimes they get picked up, but its fairly easy to get new ones. There really is no downside as long as I don't get caught. Plus it allows me to price jobs a lot lower.

Re: Is It Worth Hiring Ilegals?
In the long run its never worth it to hire an illegal. Maybe have him vaccuum chips, or clean windows on a 4' ladder but thats about it. It has to be hard to pay workmans comp on 5+ guys, so lots of guys find ways to get around it.
And its true. A big %age of white America doesent like non English speaking people on their property. Nevermind inside the house sorting through the jewelry box. Oh man I could sit here and tell you stories for days... Ill save it. |

Re: Is It Worth Hiring Ilegals?
He has made similar comments in other posts. He just has come to see the light and is trying to correct the errors of his past ways.
Plus, he makes a nifty profit on a chalet rental on a lake with a boat included. Ed Last edited by Ed the Roofer; 12-20-2007 at 12:41 AM. |

Re: Is It Worth Hiring Ilegals?
I'll give you my brief opinion....
If a person cant run a legitimate business... then they shouldn't be in business!!! Businesses that hire illegals are not only scum but are not legitimate... its a sorry excuse to say that they cant afford WC or taxes is the reason for hiring illegals... There are thriving & legitimate painting businesses (and other trades) out there that are able to afford and pay WC and taxes and still make a good profit...WHY??... because they have a plan and a system in place... In my opinion businesses that hire illegals are the portapotties of the trades... |

Re: Is It Worth Hiring Ilegals?
I only hire them to take on heavy/laborous jobs such as cleaning up job sites, dumping containers, holding/tipping frames, carrying weights, etc., that do NOT directly affect any quality of the work being done by other skilled workers. Cheap buck for the cheap work!

Re: Is It Worth Hiring Ilegals?
The Thing I'd Like To Say To Jmpg My Thing
Is That I Do Pay Workers Comp And Do With Hold Taxes But The Homeowner Takes It For Granteds That I Do Not.my Problem Is That When I Give The Estamaite The Home Owner Expects A White Clean-cut Painter Shows Up To Do The Work.which Has Not Been The Case.further More The Only Way For This Country To Get Out Of This Mess That We Are In Is To Employ Home Growen Talent ,which Is My Aim Over The Next Few Tears.so Stick That In Your Pipe And Smoke It.senior. |

Re: Is It Worth Hiring Ilegals?
I still wanna know how he gets every first letter capitalized Does he really press shift every time? Does he maybe have an illegal to hold the shift key for him at the proper time?

Re: Is It Worth Hiring Ilegals?
I think you are sniffing too much epoxy. Glad you are coming around on the illegals though.

The tracks must be getting icy.
This is like the third thread in 2 days that reads like a slow trainwreck.

Re: Is It Worth Hiring Ilegals?Because you were being made fun of with the first several respondees, who thought that you were a ficticious rabble rouser poster. I was pointing out that you were a legitimate traceable entity. Spammers cover their tracks and are usually hard to trace. You, on the other hand, were very easy to verify. Nice woodwork in that house, by the way. It seems like a nice getaway, if in fact I did my research correctly. Ed |

Re: Is It Worth Hiring Ilegals?
Have some integrity and do the business right. Pretty sure if your illegal gets hurt on the job your done for. They have legal protection as well. If i see illegals working I'd report them.
