great rant on something I never said. Who brought up the elderly? If I understand the law, if you enter the country illegally, you are not allowed. From Google ai:
it is illegal for individuals to work in the USA without proper authorization. However, undocumented workers who are employed may have certain rights, such as those to worker's compensation and union rights. Employers are legally prohibited from hiring or continuing to employ anyone who is not authorized to work in the U.S..
So my point if you're in the country illegally and it is illegal for you to work, how do you support yourself? Seems to be a legitimate question.
