You live in a dream world. On a more concrete note, you live nowhere near the Mexican border.
The illegal immigrants that everyone is arguing over are not consulting for engineering firms. They are installing insulation and cutting hedges and painting buildings. And yes, they are paid in cash, both by small business owners and by individuals. I have
personally hired a total of five people I strongly suspect to be illegal immigrants to do work for me on 3 different occasions that I can think of
in just the last year. I paid cash. They don't really work any cheaper than the American laborers, the only difference is they don't have a general contractor standing in between us taking a cut.
