I have a friend who was considering hiring an illegal, off-the-books, maid. My friend reasoned that the maid would basically not dare sue if she slipped on the wet floor and fell; was willing to be paid in cash for about 1/3 of what the local bonded maid service charges and wouldn't dare steal from the home for fear of being reported to police and deported (whether deportation really happens or not). Net-net, my friend wanted to hire an illegal for the same reason people like bayourod hires them; illegal aliens are "easier to manage" in the eyes of those who hire them, because they're scared, poor, and uneducated and won't get "uppity".Even though I would never knowingly hire an illegal alien, I understand how it must be pretty enticing for many Americans to do so because of the reasons that you pointed out. It would be like having an indentured servant working for you who you would have complete control over.

BTW, I talked my friend out of it, explaining to her that she's just adding to the problem. But, it WAS tempting to her; the irony is that a bargain-maid was tempting to her because her taxes are so high because there are so many illegals sucking up social services because there are so many people wanting to hire cheap cheap labor from Mexico and the circle goes round and round.
