Re what the government wants:
If a cleaner is an independent contractor you aren’t obligated to find out their citizenship. The definition of independent contractor is not given, but some of it is that they control their hours and get paid by the job instead of by the hour. So if someone hires a cleaner for specific jobs it’s legal regardless.
NYC government WANTS these immigrants to find gainful employment, you just have to listen to them, they don’t want these illegals just loitering around with no food or money.
Jaywalking was illegal until recently. It still is in cities other than NY. Would anyone argue that someone jaywalking is like a drug addict or violating the Torah? If so, shkoach, you’re not contradicting yourself. Otherwise you are.
it’s not illegal to ask if they are legally allowed to work in the US.
I’ll bet the person asking why you can’t just hire legal doesn’t regularly hire cleaners. Or they would know how much harder it is.
People pay above minimum wage. Hiring illegal immigrants doesn’t mean you pay below minimum wage, that is not the point. The point is to find someone willing to come regularly for a price (above minimum wage) that won’t bankrupt you.
Lots of people need cleaning help, I’ll bet the ones saying those who do are lazy aren’t actually working mothers with a bunch of kids. Probably more likely to be bored guys trolling who don’t know what it is to be a working mother with kids.
My husband’s friend is an accountant in Lakewood and they have parnasah problems with the usual maybe 5 or 6 kids. My friend is an accountant but got promoted to something else and she seems to be doing very well, but not superrich, with her husband working as a therapist.
