Would you hire illegal immigrants if they would work for half price?

American Man

Tried that years ago when we could not ask if they were illegal.... it was a mistake, it cost more to repair and replace them than had we just hired a qualified citizen.

I would not hire them if they worked for FREE

Julia

Yes I would hire them make them work about 14 hours and then tell them we are going to ATM to get money to pay, but stop at a store invite all to go in and get a beer or pop or something and me I would take off without paying them.

Nope. Not worth the risk of prosecution (and seriously bad PR).

Misty

Nope. There are to many legal citizens that are out of work to be doing that. I am tired of illegal immigrants having rights in this country. If they want any sort of rights they should have to go through everything to become legal, and learn to speak english. I also think that it is ridiculous that we have jobs such as customer service centers over seas. They need to bring those over here and give some jobs back to Americans.

Never.

HE77 no! I hire teenagers to mow the lawn and other stuff similar to what the illegal moochers do.

Absolutely not.

RomeyM

NO I sure wouldn't. My husband lost a good paying job in 2002 because him and all his coworkers were replaced with illegal immigrants that would work cheaper, they were building houses, so I don't believe any of the BS about they only do the jobs the American's won't do.

No, it brings down citizen salaries.

No, hiring illegal aliens = breaking the law

if you hire them you must pay minimum wages..it's the law.

legal lover :)

Nope, not worth it having the already criminal people around. I mow my own lawn, do my own painting and have plenty of friends to help me do any of that other silly stuff.

Yes I would because the posts on Yahoo Answers confirm that restricted immigration is the biggest load of crap that I've ever been exposed to (Creationism is not easy to beat):

Economists have always said free migration raises world productivity, so I don't believe Lou Dobbs or any of your other Billion dollar myths tossed around on Yahoo Answers. The illegals don't have the next 400 years to educate you people on free trade economics. If migration is not maximized then restricted immigration is illegitimate. In my opinion, every country should be 25% foreign born based on Australia being 22% foreign born (#1 in the world), and Canada being 20% foreign born (#2 in the world).

Illegals are superior to native born Americans because illegals get deported for the least little crime, but Americans can rape, murder, and pillage and never get deported. You people have made it clear that you have a vision of Americans filling the laboring jobs that you condemn the illegals for doing. Makes no sense. Who's going to wash the dishes when Lou Dobbs goes to a restaurant, Lou Dobbs??? So you see, you can't condemn people for doing laboring jobs that have to be done. I don't believe you are the master race, and if you were, how come most Americans can't qualify to immigrant to their own country or any other country???

no because they ILLEGAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

NOPE!
1) I have morals
2) Child molestation: In 82% of the cases the victims were known to their attackers. "In those instances, the illegal immigrants typically gained access to the victims after having worked as a day laborer at or near the victims' homes," she says. "Victims ranged in age from 1 year old to 13 years old, with the average age being 6." Deborah Schurman-Kauflin Ph.D. of the Violent Crimes Institute.

Nope. They claim to know how to do the work, yet lack certification, bonding, and insurance to guarantee that the work is up to code according to the states standards of safety.

Micky....the resurrection

No, I wouldn't hire criminals period.

`Andy Capp

Nope, not even if they would be paying me half price to work for me.Because I would only have to pay decent "american" wage to american workers to FIX the "work" illegals did.

Lucero

No. I would never knowingly hire an illegal immigrant.

not my president

oh h%ll yeah

La Mojarra

What exactly do you mean "by half price"

My workers are paid a decent wage and are treated fairly. I have workers that have been with me since I stared out...All 5 years

Again, the problem with some American workers are they want union pay, when people like us, what to live in a comfortable manner.

Yes, times are hard right now, but my workers will always receive their pay before I get paid.

That's just fair!

carrerahr

I don't think that there should be such an outrage against mexicans because they contribute to the society and your more worried about mexicans than the people that crashed into the empire state buildings. To answer you question yes I would hire but for the same amount.

Naka

Yes and I'd pay them the same wage as anyone else. They're humans with bills to pay and families to feed.

Can't wait for all the thumbs down.

jamie s

That would be against the law.. But probably...

Mary_Menjivar

yes!!! and I have,,,,lol only thing is if they agree to work half price, still wouldnt only pay half price, I just like to see dertermination, hell Id give them a raise....

Raiders - Just Win Baby

Thousands of employers are currently doing that right now. Why don't you think the US hasn't enforced the immigration laws yet?? There is some conspiracy going on here because the US government knows they need illegals because no Americans will want to do those jobs. And for those Americans that do those jobs, how can they possibly support a family on minimum wage?? Hell The illegals don't care.... $5.00/hr is 5x better than what they make in their country. and Americans have opportunities to go to college. No illegals will be working on a job that requires college education. So don't get mad at them because it wasn't their fault for your failure in life and now your working on a low paying job.
