I have no qualms about this. What is going on in this country right now is morally wrong. These people work their butts off, are law abiding good people and make our country great. THEY’RE doing that. Not MAGA.

Why don't you properly hire his/her and petition for their work visa or any other immigration visa? What stops you to do it a legal way if you are such a morally right person?

You know nothing. Under the current law, there is literally no way for him to get legal status. None. You're one of the many who think there's some kind of "line" he can get into. There is none.

Why you cannot create an LLC and hire him, or help him to obtain a business visa for legally conducting business in US? What exactly prevents you from helping this individual?

Look, I'm a lawyer, ok? There's no way I can make the guy legal. I know it.

I AM helping him in the one way I can. I pay him well and I help to harbor him.

I’m gonna be LMAO at the future thread where you complain about how uncaring was to catch a Bar Association sanction for this!


Nah. We en that happens, you’ll never post that. Too embarrassing.

I don't practice law anymore. I retired young a long time ago. I'm not concerned.

Obviously you’re retired. Old retired alone and seeking meaning for yourself which you find by playing white savior and posting about to internet strangers all hours of the day.

Yet, here you are, coming back over and over again for more. Physician, heal thyself . . .

I commented on page 3 and came back to read the thread.

Shocked to see you respond to every comment in real time! Who has time for that? You apparently.

Interesting way to spend your days in retirement.

Yet, here you are, again.

Making 2 comments in 4 days is normal.

Posting comments every minute for days is not.

Get a life Gramps.

Look, we all know that every reference to “white savior” comes from you. You’re all over this thread. You’re not fooling anybody. Why are you so upset?

A funny quip that fits because it got under your skin.

Check IPs if you want. Do you know how the internet works?

You are talking to many different people Gramps.

Well, I don’t believe you for a second but if you really think calling me a “white savior” gets under my skin that’s pretty funny. Can’t you tell by now that I don’t care at all what you think? But you clearly care what I think because you keep coming back. That’s what’s funny.

I’m a rich white guys with lots of money that I earned the hard way, I am proudly woke and so are my kids, I’m fluent in Spanish and have lots of experience in Latin America, I hate Trump and the ignorant racist people who worship him, and I’m generous with my money with hardworking undocumented immigrants. Yep, that’s me. It’s awesome.

People who are really happy and awesome don’t make threads about themselves seeking admiration of random strangers on the internet.

Perhaps. But there are posters on here who think someone like this guy are bitter, unhappy, etc. This gent clearly adheres to the adage "to whom much is given, much is expected." He is delighted to be able to help out and does so because he can.

I grew up in a large, working class family, always struggling, etc. We do quite quite well now. I also take pleasure in advocating for the safety net as well as donating to general causes as well as helping people out directly. My parents taught me that we were rich in empathy and being generous om care and time didn't really have a cost. I'm now grateful that I can do even more.

Indeed. Are you willing to go to jail for years? When ICE comes, are you going to forcibly resist them? Just because you believe something is morally wrong doesn't mean you get to break the law.

I'm not going to jail. That's ridiculous. And ICE isn't allowed on my property without a warrant, and they don't know -- and can't know -- that he comes here to work because I pay cash.

He’s Definitely not pay taxes. Are you paying them?

I've said since the beginning of this thread that I assume he's not paying income taxes -- but that doesn't mean he isn't paying ANY taxes. He's paying sales taxes, etc. And, no, I'm not paying them because I have no obligation to.

As an employer, you do have obligation wither to issue 1099 to your employer, so he can pay taxes on his earnings, or to issue a W-2 form and to withhold and pay his taxes. So you are saying you violating the law?

I'm not his "employer."

You hired him to provide you with services and you are paying him as a contractor, without issuing 1099.

You sound like such an ignoramus. I don't know what kind of bubble you live in, but in a lot of areas of the country immigrant families are part of the community and part of the economy. Maybe different members of the family have different immigration statuses. Not everybody knows or has the time or energy to care.

The members of these families are running local businesses. Their kids are on your kids baseball team. They're sitting in church on Sunday. Shut up with this undocumented slave garbage. You sound like an idiot.

He without sin can cast the first stone . . .

Quoting Bible scripture will not protect you if/when ICE comes to arrest you.

Whatever. I'll take the risk. It's worth it to me. I still have a shred of humanity left.

More importantly, a nice yard that you don’t pay tax on.

OP here. Yes, this is pretty much it. I very much am a happy man. I started this thread not to seek praise or adulation -- because I don't need it -- but because I am fully aware of my privilege and with everything that's going on right now in the far less privileged immigrant community those of us who support it need to speak up.

I don't buy the "America first" garbage. To me it's always people first.

Sigh. I don't have to under the law. I truly, truly don't. But here's the thing. Even if I did have to under the law, he wouldn't want me to and for that reason alone I wouldn't do it. I don't care about little bullshit tax laws. I pay every dime of my own taxes and have never fudged a cent, literally, in my entire life. I've paid hundreds and hundreds of thousands of dollars in federal income taxes over the years, despite objecting deeply to how much of my tax dollars are (and are not) being spent -- way more than enough to cover whatever pittance this poor guy may owe.

I just paid my property taxes today, actually. So yeah I pay taxes on my yard.

Look, I'm a lawyer, ok? There's no way I can make the guy legal. I know it.

I AM helping him in the one way I can. I pay him well and I help to harbor him.

I’m gonna be LMAO at the future thread where you complain about how uncaring was to catch a Bar Association sanction for this!


Nah. We en that happens, you’ll never post that. Too embarrassing.

I don't practice law anymore. I retired young a long time ago. I'm not concerned.

Obviously you’re retired. Old retired alone and seeking meaning for yourself which you find by playing white savior and posting about to internet strangers all hours of the day.

Yet, here you are, coming back over and over again for more. Physician, heal thyself . . .

I commented on page 3 and came back to read the thread.

Shocked to see you respond to every comment in real time! Who has time for that? You apparently.

Interesting way to spend your days in retirement.

Yet, here you are, again.

Making 2 comments in 4 days is normal.

Posting comments every minute for days is not.

Get a life Gramps.

Look, we all know that every reference to “white savior” comes from you. You’re all over this thread. You’re not fooling anybody. Why are you so upset?

A funny quip that fits because it got under your skin.

Check IPs if you want. Do you know how the internet works?

You are talking to many different people Gramps.

Well, I don’t believe you for a second but if you really think calling me a “white savior” gets under my skin that’s pretty funny. Can’t you tell by now that I don’t care at all what you think? But you clearly care what I think because you keep coming back. That’s what’s funny.

I’m a rich white guys with lots of money that I earned the hard way, I am proudly woke and so are my kids, I’m fluent in Spanish and have lots of experience in Latin America, I hate Trump and the ignorant racist people who worship him, and I’m generous with my money with hardworking undocumented immigrants. Yep, that’s me. It’s awesome.

People who are really happy and awesome don’t make threads about themselves seeking admiration of random strangers on the internet.

Perhaps. But there are posters on here who think someone like this guy are bitter, unhappy, etc. This gent clearly adheres to the adage "to whom much is given, much is expected." He is delighted to be able to help out and does so because he can.

I grew up in a large, working class family, always struggling, etc. We do quite quite well now. I also take pleasure in advocating for the safety net as well as donating to general causes as well as helping people out directly. My parents taught me that we were rich in empathy and being generous om care and time didn't really have a cost. I'm now grateful that I can do even more.

OP here. Yes, this is pretty much it. I very much am a happy man. I started this thread not to seek praise or adulation -- because I don't need it -- but because I am fully aware of my privilege and with everything that's going on right now in the far less privileged immigrant community those of us who support it need to speak up.

I don't buy the "America first" garbage. To me it's always people first.

DP not MAGA here and that sounds like your ego got the best of you. Good honest people don’t flaunt their benevolence in public.

Yea, sure , you're not MAGA. Uh huh.

I have no qualms about this. What is going on in this country right now is morally wrong. These people work their butts off, are law abiding good people and make our country great. THEY’RE doing that. Not MAGA.

Why don't you properly hire his/her and petition for their work visa or any other immigration visa? What stops you to do it a legal way if you are such a morally right person?

Rich people privileges to hire undocumented slaves.

You sound like such an ignoramus. I don't know what kind of bubble you live in, but in a lot of areas of the country immigrant families are part of the community and part of the economy. Maybe different members of the family have different immigration statuses. Not everybody knows or has the time or energy to care.

The members of these families are running local businesses. Their kids are on your kids baseball team. They're sitting in church on Sunday. Shut up with this undocumented slave garbage. You sound like an idiot.

Wow. Modern slave owners are much triggered by owing slaves in their household these days.

And, you are breaking the law.

Indeed. Are you willing to go to jail for years? When ICE comes, are you going to forcibly resist them? Just because you believe something is morally wrong doesn't mean you get to break the law.

I'm not going to jail. That's ridiculous. And ICE isn't allowed on my property without a warrant, and they don't know -- and can't know -- that he comes here to work because I pay cash.

He’s Definitely not pay taxes. Are you paying them?

I've said since the beginning of this thread that I assume he's not paying income taxes -- but that doesn't mean he isn't paying ANY taxes. He's paying sales taxes, etc. And, no, I'm not paying them because I have no obligation to.

As an employer, you do have obligation wither to issue 1099 to your employer, so he can pay taxes on his earnings, or to issue a W-2 form and to withhold and pay his taxes. So you are saying you violating the law?

I'm not his "employer."

You hired him to provide you with services and you are paying him as a contractor, without issuing 1099.

Sigh. I don't have to under the law. I truly, truly don't. But here's the thing. Even if I did have to under the law, he wouldn't want me to and for that reason alone I wouldn't do it. I don't care about little bullshit tax laws. I pay every dime of my own taxes and have never fudged a cent, literally, in my entire life. I've paid hundreds and hundreds of thousands of dollars in federal income taxes over the years, despite objecting deeply to how much of my tax dollars are (and are not) being spent -- way more than enough to cover whatever pittance this poor guy may owe.

I am very confused. I thought we want to tax more rich people. You obviously rich, why you trying to pay less? Pay more taxes!
