You didn't ask whether I thought it prudent business to do so, only if I
wouldn't mind having a few "off-the-books" employees. Them being
illegal aliens is not material. Rather than pay an employee X USD, plus
all of the assorted costs, few of which practically benefit employee or
employer, it be cheaper to pay that employee - Mexican, US citizens, or
Norwegians - a flat, simple cash wage of X + 20% and be done with it.

Why do you hate America so much ?

If you're *not* planning to exploit your illegals
you'd have to be an idiot to hire them in the first place.

Well, in my observations, most illegals want to work, do work, and work
hard. Therefore, I'd rather have illegals - not because they are
illegals, but because they are hard workers who _want_ to work, treat
and pay them fairly, have them stick around and continue to do good work
- you know, sorta like normal human beings...

Uh huh. I get the impression that your notions, and those
of the other chiselers who would knowingly hire illegals,
about "treat and pay them fairly" aren't exactly consistent
with either our labor laws or common human decency.
