Enlighten me then. How is hiring an illegal immigrant NOT aiding him in

db59840

What?

db59840

7/7/15 11:33am

Correct. Being in the country unlawfully is not a crime.

thebruce

IOW I had to pay someone to fix everything he did

thebruce

7/7/15 10:49am

So....was that because he did a really poor job? Had poor direction? Was not

RalphWiggam

7/7/15 10:57am

he was qualified..because I had paid him for previous work

thebruce

7/7/15 11:00am

Then why not simply say...

RalphWiggam

7/7/15 11:12am

both scenarios I wanted legal advice on.

thebruce

7/7/15 11:22am

So you didn't know he was illegal when you hired him?

RalphWiggam

7/7/15 11:38am

this wasn't the first job I used him for.

thebruce

7/7/15 11:44am

You should have been watching him and sent him off the job as soon as you saw

NorthBayCoug

7/7/15 10:57am

You chose him to do the work.

Triggerhappybunny

7/7/15 11:08am

You pay him when he provides his Tax Id number.

Pay him what he's owed

NorthBayCoug

7/7/15 10:51am

Yep. As far as life lessons go, that one is not too expensive. Here's a free one

7/7/15 10:56am

His criminal history has nothing to do with if you should pay him.

mudpupper

7/7/15 10:53am

You had an agreement with him. You need to keep your word.

His status as an illegal immigrant is irrelevant

Is he married to a man? That would effect how much I would pay him.
