The standard I am referring to is the law of the United States. It is illegal and a punishable offense to hire an illegal alien. That;s why the label criminal applies. It is illegal to drive without a buckled seatbelt. There are crimes and there are infractions. If I forget to buckle my seatbelt am I also Un-American. Please indulge me with your black and white wisdom.

Hiring an illegal carries a fine of up to $10,000 per incident. Hiring an illegal knowingly makes one subject to Rico, which triples the fine. That is hardly an infraction. Yes, you're a criminal if you hire an illegal, and one sorry excuse for a businessman if you have to break the law to make money.

Your analogy is a sorry attempt to rationalize illegal conduct. Hiring an illegal alien is punishable by a fine up to $10,000 per incident. Additionally, if you knowingly hire an illegal, then you are subject to Rico, which triples the fine. I'm amazed when some are such poor businessmen that they have to resort to illegal methods to make money. The label of criminal stands.
