[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So effectively an indentured servant?[/quote]

Considering that we pay him more than triple the minimum wage in our state? I don’t think so.  [/quote]

You should be paying that to an American citizen or lawful resident immigrant.

Your humble brag only says you’re scofflaw, not that you’re generous. [/quote]

The American citizens in this area do a shitty job at this kind of work, and any lawful resident immigrant doesn't even do this kind of work because it's not the kind of work that the government is likely to allow anyone to enter legally to do.

I've struck out time and again with "domestic" workers.  They are almost uniformly unreliable, cut corners, are lazy, and do a bad job.  You don't know how many times I've tried.  It's not what I'm paying my guy that's undercutting them -- it's his work ethic that is. [/quote]

And what's so backward is that the reward for that work ethic is to round them up and ship them out.   The work ethic of someone that actually has the wherewithal to uproot themselves travel to a far away country and start over, learn the language, get a job, support their family is usually pretty impressive.  I don't think I could do it. And yet we voted to discard these people.  It makes no sense unless you're an out and out racist.  [/quote]

Exactly, although  I (the OP) have to add that my guy doesn't speak English -- not because he doesn't want to, but because he's working too hard to find the time.[/quote]
