I am a contractor, and I hire people to help me work in New York. I am a big fan of immigrants, but LEGAL immigrants. Simply put, I do not hire illegal people to work for me. If you can't prove that you are a citizen of the United States, I won't hire you.
Do I make less of a profit than my competitors? Not really. Here's why.
If you hire someone who is breaking the law (in other words, an ILLEGAL immigrant), they are already a crook (they are ILLEGAL - get it???), and so, what makes you think they will do a proper job? As a result, you have to redo the job which eats away at your profit margin.
On the other hand, hiring LEGAL people usually results in a better job done more quickly, and so, your profits are up.
I treat my workers fairly and do not exploit them. In turn, they work their butts off. It's a symbiotic relationship. I charge slightly higher rates, but people know I do quality work, so they hire me.
Still think the economy needs illegals?
