HI,
No, I'm saying that Labor Ready is hiring legal folks.
Andreas is the one stating that his area does not have things like Labor
Ready--they have the trucks that pick up illegal immigrants who are NOT
paying taxes and that they are just FINE with not paying taxes.
Earlier, Judy wrote that illegal immigrants can't pay taxes. This true,
Marlena.
In reply to Judy (not Andreas) you asked why they couldn't.
"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."
If they were illegal immigrants it could not be 'documented' that they'd
earned whatever they did unless—as I wrote earlier—they were passing as
(and accepted as) legal immigrants with work visas. Labor Ready must, in
its accounting to the IRS document them in some way: LR cannot say that
they were sending out illegal immigrants as temps.
"According to Andreas, they are making quite a lot of money...but not
paying taxes on it."
Whether or not they are making quite a lot of money they cannot (Judy is
right) pay taxes and yet be working 'off the books,' as illegals.
This is as clearly as I can explain it to you.
