If you want to take advantage of our corrupt system that rewards criminal behavior, go to the local Day Labor Assembly, pick up some undocumented workers and contribute to the garbage that has cost-ed this nation MILLIONS of jobs!
I recommend, calling a Temporary Help Agency, Get some of their verified workers who are screened, insured, and even delivered to your site! You will pay a little more, but you will not be perpetuating a very destructive trend that is costing local communities their existence!
You can also relax about the fact, that the workers you get are able to be traced in the event there should somehow be an event!
ADDED---Marilyn--YOU ARE SOOOO WRONG!!!!
The SAM Shelter does not verify legal status and is the "Sanctuary City's" way of facillitating the undocumented Illegal workers out to prospective employers! They think they have a right to undermine a federal law, and help their "Kind"!
Problem is the Feds do not enforce their laws, and Locals cannot!-so they don't!

If they have work papers it is legal to hire them.
I-9 reqirements say 3 days, so if you are hiring them for less than that, you can usually get away with it. Just don't run for public office. Here is the link for Employer I-9 responsibilities.
Technicially what you are suggesting is illegal, if it is for a few days, and you are talking a few people, the chances of getting in trouble are likely slim and none. BTW - You CANNOT demand proof of work permits until you hire them, hence the 3 day period.

Hiring an illegal or legal for renovating an investment property is proper as long as the regular permits, payment of salaries and taxes are complied. It is just higher wages for the legals.

Are you really serious with that question . If you don't know the legality of hiring illegals and are living in Texas , then you must have just come out of a 20 year coma .

Yes it is if they are illegal, I live in Texas too...but people still do it anyway. It is legal if they are legal immigrants though. Hope I helped.

Yes and it should be. While you are trying to save money by hiring illegals for dirt level wages, you are producing the demand that is breaking our country. They collect multiple benefits that the American people are paying for through the nose while a very few are taking advantage of their poverty.

If they are illegally in the US, it is illegal for you to hire them. If they are in the US legally, please...reward them by giving them work. If people would only hire legals, soon there would only be legals to hire.

If that IS true they have to take half the state to court. There's no proof of you using them because you pay cash.
How are you going to know if they are legal immigrants?
All I know is that I have done it and never had a moment's concern. It would be different if you were hiring them as house staff.

Hire a contractor for a good price and let the contractor worry about the labor force.
