I'm as Democratic as they come but I've asked the owners of the roofing company that re-did my roof this year, the tree service company that removed a bunch of trees this spring, and the company that cleans my house if all of their workers are documented.
I will not reward a business by hiring them if they hire illegal aliens. Plus I figure if they are hiring illegal aliens what else are they doing wrong? Yes, they may lie to me. But one tree service company owner said he never checked the paperwork of his crews so i told him thanks but no thanks.
Why is this so wrong? We can punish the BUSINESS OWNER by not using them. We can start asking the questions instead of waiting for Washington to do something.
