Why don't you just stand up for what you believe in. Right or wrong, at least you'll have some self respect.
EDIT: Dude, you need to grow a pair.

What kind of volunteer organization would offer you a cut of the money of the illegal immigrants bring in????
If this organization is legitimate, it would not be offering a financial incentive to help people, and would definetely not take the money of the poor. There is something very illegal going on in this organization and it's beyond helping illegal immigrants.
even if you believe in illegal immigrants have rights, you are making yourself vulnerable. The illegal immigrants may rob you or might make you accountable to the court for their illegal activities. If they are pressuring you so hard, they are definetely doing something wrong.
14 people?? They will trash you place. Do you trust that all 14 people are honest????
Remember, if you approve of illegal immigrants, for someone to take their money in such circumstance is taking advantage of them. If you don't want to call the police to check out what's going on, atleast tell your friend you don't want to get involve. Just state your afraid that you might attract the police.

Let's see.... volunteers who take money...
law student....harboring illegal immigrants...
Hmmmn.
Yeah, this is a tough one.
Why are you unable to say no? Where is the struggle here?
What exactly is this "volunteer organization" you so clearly didn't identify? Gosh, is there a reason you couldn't name them?
Sorry, guy, but I cannot imagine how you ever got into law school, because you very clearly lack not only fortitude, but intelligence.
Is this a joke?

NO! Are you ready to go to prison? Do you know the consequences your actions can have? Look, I'm Mexican and I want my people to have a better life and I don't mind them coming to find it. But believe me if there's a raid on your home - guess who's going to jail and guess who's going home.
Humanitarian aid is not a crime, but having them in your home is. If you are prepared and want to spend some time in a federal prision with a bunch of moody, premenstral women 24-7 for months or years; away from your family, wearing the same s******** outfit day in and day out, eating crappy food - then go ahead!

I wouldn't risk it. You could be in a lot of trouble. What kind of an organization would ask you to put yourself at risk like that. No amount of money will compensate you if you get caught. Which sounds like a good possibilty if your household grows to 14. I would say no and quit the organization.
I would also report your friend.

Do it if you don't have any core values, morals, respect for the law, respect for your fellow citizens; and are basically unscrupulous.
It's this very act of incivility that turns neighbor against neighbor and waters down the constitution. This country has become too much like those countries others are fleeing.
I'm only sorry I can't report it.

It would be the same thing as knowingly harboring a rapist or bank robber. No difference. You would be put in to jail if found out.
Is aiding a criminal illegal alien worth your loosing all you value in your life?

You should first of all remember that the people you've been asked to shelter have already broken the law, so be sure and lock up anything you'd like to still have after they've left.

It's good thing they are not asking you to rob some banks and you would get a cut of the money
