3) Many undocumented workers are paid under the table making both them and those who employ them guilty of evading taxes as well as cheating the state of workers comp and unemployment taxes. Those situations are nearly impossible to stop and makes it virtually impossible for those employers who are following the rules to compete. This can be prevalent in things like roofing, drywall, landscaping and other construction businesses.
