    Do you honestly believe you can fill your staff at their present pay rate with US citizens and legal aliens? If so then you probably have a moral dilemma, if not (and you are paying the minimum wage) I don't see the problem.

    Why would you tell on them? Just do your job and make sure the guys you manage do a good job....If you are really that uncomfortable just try to find a new job I guess, but telling on people/causing issues with your boss seems like a punk move

    There's a lot of unknown's here obviously but I would assume the illegals are very grateful for having any job. I would look at it from their perspective and ask yourself, if in their shoes, would you want you to go to the authorities.

    Live and let live.

    Also, you are certainly not responsible for your companies hiring practices. I also am in a supervisory role and am in no way responsible for the citizenship status of those beneath me. That's a human resource problem.
    Nailed it

    Can't stand the people like that....I find that most of the time at work, it's the people that are doing something shady or know they are inadequate that like to get involved and cause issues for others

    I like to know what's going on with others at work but just to laugh with other co-workers to make the time pass.....I avoid anything involving the higher ups and "never" see or hear anything

    BACK IN 81 ;i worked for my uncle building oil rigs in houston. Now being of mexican-puerto rican descent ; I have no problems with anyone that is trying to better themselves. I used to get pissed at him so I would go pull the air horn.( This was used to warn them that I.N.S. was on the property, Those guys would climb 20 -30 ft in the rafters hiding from them. It was funny until my uncle busted my ass.

    People in the USA profit off of them.... They profit off being in the United States to work.....They SHOULD tighten up and grandfather everyone that is here IN....allow them to pay taxes and join the military...Most of them are essentially hardworking honest individuals just looking to improve their familys quality of life...They would love to be legal, work and pay taxes honestly....but it APPEARS the situation your in very normal...just dont say anything and "play dumb"...it seems still be working these days...

    Dont blame your boss for hiring illegals ,blame the government with all their rules and regulations for making it impossible to stay profitable without illegals.

    If your boss didnt hire illegals his businiss would go broke and you would be out of a job

    BTW immigrants who come to the States to work(illegal or legal) are not the problem. Its the ones who come for a handout or to commit crimes that are the problem

    Can't they both be different problems? Illegal aliens are by definition a problem... hence against the law.

    Yeah, the Feds seem hell bent on prosecuting the border crossers themselves, let alone those who help them.

    If the Feds found out tomorrow you're more likely to get a tax write-off than a criminal charge.

    College educated and worked for the guy eleven years and you can state he was given this job for " one simple reason for the boss to put him in checkmate?" . That's presumptions Even by Internet forum standards.
