Just because someone "is hard working "does that make them above the law ?

I agree, illegal is the word, if they are here illegally they need to go back to their home country's and try to get here legally. We should have no tolerance for people that think that our laws do not count. There are many hard working people that want to come to the United States that are doing it the right way, and they should be honored.

Nope. The only workplace encounter I ever had with an illegal immigrant was in the kitchen of a restaurant. This guy was from Mexico... he was a GREAT dishwasher... I mean that sincerely. It's not an easy job. He did his job swiftly and without complaining. He was much better than the dumb guy they got to replace him when they found out he was illegal.

basically yes, as long as one does not exceed his quota

Absolutely.  Finding a job is the hardest part.  If the conviction comes up in the interview, and it will most of the time, be honest and frank about it.  If the boss wants to be a total dickface about it, and they will most of the time, then screw 'em.  Usually dickfaces find something to be a dickface about anyway.  That's how dickfaces operate.  Basically, call the conviction a learning experience.  And it doesn't have to be flipping burgers or cleaning toilets. Pick a trade... Electronics, auto repair, landscaping... and work your way up like everyone else.

I agree with you but for some reason some ppl believe they are above the law because of their "situation" and they use that situation as an excuse and when ppl complain about them they throw in the race card. Plllllllllzzzzzzzz

My experience sais that people work very hard to be able to treat the people below them like slaves. That is the corporate ladder at work. People think that they have to be mean in order to encourage productivity. I have had a couple jobs with respectful bosses but when that is the case the company treats us all like dirt and we sort of ganged together. I am now self-employed which is much easier but not reinforced by the society, it has its prices (insurance credit etc) Self employment is the way to go if you cant handle people power-tripping over you......

You don't have to be happy with your job to do good work. Nor do you have the ability to do a job to enjoy it. However, if you are well trained, treated fairly, like some of your co-workers, and enjoy it then you will perform at a higher level going beyond what is just acceptable to excellence. Good for you and good for the company.

You mean illegal aliens?\n\nMore than they're used to!\n\nPersonally, the quality of their work is proportionate to their wage.

Not in question form. However, I believe that in all jobs there are plenty of slackers and a boatload of mediocre employeees. The people that work very hard and take initiative to do extra is a rare find (everyone has there moments, but who really cares enough to work hard regulary.) Here's your answer, caring about self dignity and having discipline to get the full job done through initiative and sweat, is the rarest form of a standard wage employee, all others just don't care enough about it.

if their job involves driving, yes.  otherwise, it depends on the province they are in, and the labour law there.

Actually they really can not do much of anything. A Personnel Manager told me once, that really all he can do is verify a person worked for the company. If, they were to say anything bad, the Dictatorship allows the person to sue the company. Now, with that said, we can assume there a Company Code/Understanding in the business world, that what said behind closed doors stays there. IF, you see what I say.

The ones that are obeying the laws of the country trying to make a better future for themselves and their families are a blessing.  Those who are not abiding by the law are a hinderence the same way American criminals are.

You are absolutely correct...  If these people are so "hard working" then why do they take the first opportunity they see to not work?\n\nTo krystal_75034:  Your argument does not hold water.  I don't care if they "want what we have because they don't have it in their poverty stricken country," they are getting it illegally.  Are you telling me that if some guy rapes my wife, that's okay because he just wanted what I have and can't get it in his sexless marriage?  No!  It's illegal.  I don't understand why people can't understand the concept of laws.  Breaking the law makes you a criminal.  End of story.

Fact. Some people are just worth more than others.

Yes very much so. Apparently people are not reasonable enough to handle have this privilege. Sometimes one bad irresponsible person ruins it for all.

No, I don't think so! The point is, is that you broke the law. It may be considered but just because your a good person, it doesn't mean that you may be go.

A hard worker is not always one who puts in a lot of hours. A hard worker is one who does the jobs assigned to them correctly and on time. They also are preceived as always looking for work to do when they finish their assigned tasks. Also many hard workers are self starters who don't need to be told what to do, they know and do it.
