In many areas of the country, making $135k to $250k does not make one rich.
If I made $250K I'd consider myself rich.
And I wouldn't look to cheat someone out of a hard day's work by hiring an illegal.
The rich are the problem here. Not Joe Average just trying to keep ahead of his bills by working two jobs.
2 years back, a man knocked on my door asking if I needed any tree trimming or landscaping done, I actually did need some done, so I asked him for references and a quote on cutting down some trees, we talked for awhile, and he was a latino, I assume from Mexico, and I asked him for his papers allowing him to work in the country, he said he was a legalized citizen and I asked to see his drivers license, he said he didn't have one, yet he showed up driving a car, and that was that, I told him if he could produce one of those 2 documents, I would put him to work, needless to say, he never showed back up.
Now, please show me one rich person, who knowingly hired an illegal alien, and did the hiring themselves, and when I say rich, I mean someone with a networth of over a million dollars.
