| 12. A government contractor |
|
Is obliged to pay his employees the prevailing wage. The prevailing wage is generally (in my experience) higher than the *real* prevailing wage.
The contractor hired illegals so that he could pay them $6 of the $45 that he charged the government for their time, without risk of the employees reporting the contractor.
The contractor should go to jail, and the workers should be returned home with an apology and a reminder that there is a legal process that must be followed in order to work here.
