What cheap labor???? I want what you're smoking.

BTW, taxpayers are actually benefitted by billions pouring into the social security fund from a segment of the workforce that will never see any of the benefits.

I had the opportunity to have several students from Columbia and Costa Rica in the dairy classes I taught at the tech college. Costa Rica was a great place to live, work, and tour. I would not say the same for Columbia then or now. Most students were from middle class Columbian farms where the owners actually worked with employees etc. Some were very wealthy and had others do all their work. They knew several of the members that were involved in the drug trade and there were actually a lot of registered cattle bought here in the USA as a way to launder drug money back home. Lot of visitors from Miami as well. The reason for compliance is that ones life expectancy increased greatly by rowing in the boat.

Most of them are here because they are lying. Most use a fake name and use someone elses ssn to get employment. As an employer I can not ask about their immigration status or question them about their SSN or the fact that most of them claim 5-7 dependents even though I know they have three living in the house(including themselves). The only time I can ask is if they will be required to go onto a federal military installation or a federal building or a job that requires certified payroll. Then if they don't answer honestly it causes us a lot of headache and BS and they lose their job and potentially get arrested/deported.

Wrong - as an employer you have a responsibility to ensure they can work legally. That is the whole purpose of the form I9

If you pay under the table how do you write off your labor expense? From my experience the vast majority are paid via payroll like everybody else. Those with fictitious SS #'s are issued an ITIN # by the federal government. This number is used for paying their taxes (yes, they pay taxes). However even if they have paid into the SS system for years if they are injured they have no right to the SS benefits, Nor is there any provision for ever receiving an SS check in the future as long as they remain undocumented or "illegal".

When you pay people under the table you can hide profits.
A double whammy to the honest taxpayer(govt).

I guess if you get paid in cash that is possible.
