Subject: BS: To hire day labor / illegal aliens?
In our town there are several spots where you can find guys standing around looking for day work. A cursory glance would indicate that they are mostly hispanic. And yes - that's racial profiling.

Here's the premise: You have about 25 or 30 plants you want moved and replanted around your house. The local nursery has quoted $60.00 per plant to do the job. The other option is to hire two guys from the street corner who will work for $10.00 an hour to do the job - it should take about 5 hours to do it right.

Do you pay the nursery?
Do you hire the two guys who might be illegal?
Is it any of your business if these guys are illegal aliens or not?
