(Judy): they can't pay taxes

Why not? If the company were like the Labor Ready company here, they would be paying taxes at the end of the year because it would be documented that they had earned what they did.

According to Andreas, they are making quite a lot of money...but not paying taxes on it.

Certainly, illegal immigrants pay taxes and made Social Security payments (from which they will never benefit); but they can do so only if they are documented. That's why there's a brisk market in fake green cards. If you're not a citizen and don't have a green card (in the labor market we're talking about), you can't pay taxes. Try filling out a W-2 without a Social Security number.


You seem to be saying that Labor Ready is falsifying its books (if it is hiring illegal aliens who do not have a green card).
