I mean I do have a choice right? I would prefer Paco, who puts in an honest days work over Billy-Jo-Bob, who wants a smoke break every hour, takes twice as long and complains throughout the day. Not to mention, he wants twice the pay!....For crying out loud!!!

BTW, it's only illegal to hire illegals if you get caught and they enforce it :)

I'm white and I am a manager at a drug store and in my opinion, immigrants work way harder and want way more hours than the other white people. They all make the same wage (which is minimum), but they don't complain about it like everyone else!

As long as you are hiring documented/legal aliens you are fine. White people are not a protected class and it is perfectly legal to discriminate against them. Keep in mind this only includes white males under 50. Discriminating against men over 50 is considered age discrimination and discrimination against women, white or otherwise, is considered sexual discrimination. Be sure you have your I-9 forms filled out properly on your alien employees. Improper filing of these documents could get you in BIG trouble. If you don't know what an I-9 is you need to look into it promptly.

It's not OK to discriminate on the basis of race or national origin. Assuming that any individual native-born American will be a worse worker than any individual immigrants is discriminatory, illegal, and immoral. Discriminating on the basis of the level of pay a person demands is fine, and firing a worker for poor performance is fine.

No one is debating that people from other countries work hard. Is it OK to hire someone because of that fact? No. It does not matter if you agree with the law or not, this is a matter of LAW, not race. A criminal is still a criminal even if the person is reliable.
As for your comment about getting caught, sir you logic is flawed. A crime is just that, even if you are not caught. to say otherwise would be promoting anarchy.

Yes, it seems that way.
I don't see the point of having to hire two lazy persons who stand around idly while you're not supervising them, when you could just hire one hard worker who will work and doesn't have to be babysat.

you can hire anyone u want just as long as they are legal and based on my experiences it does look like most but not all immigrants are less likely to complain and want breaks than white people. im not saying all just most that i have seen

You can hire anyone you want to as long as they are here legally and have a legal social security number.
Pretty soon you are going to have to verify the SS numbers of all of your employees, if the number does not jive with the SS Administration, you will have a set number of days to prove that employee is legal (or fire him), and if you do not comply and he is still in your employ at the end of that time, you are going to be fined $10,000 per day, per illegal alien, for every day any, and all, illegal aliens remain in your employ.
Don't you read the papers?
BTY: your last line was funny, so you think it's not illegal to rob a bank unless you get caught? it's not illegal to commit murder unless you get caught? it's not illegal to molest a child unless you get caught?
Just because you aren't caught yet doesn't make it legal, and your day will come.

okay now that we know you're a jerk lets see about this question....I think it's okay as long as you don't rip them off because they're illegal an therefore more vulnerable to you.

well, if hes being hired to pick strawberries or stack boxes, im sure you pick the stronger, faster, cheaper worker. But if youre looking for someone to do something that requires a basic understanding of math or english, then id probably go with the white guy.

Do you mean immigrants or ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS? Does It matter to you If they have an education beyond the 8th grade?
