California Employer Sues State Over Wage Claims for Illegal Workers
The owner of a downtown Los Angeles sushi restaurant facing wage payment claims by two alleged undocumented workers has launched a novel counterattack by filing a class-action lawsuit against the California labor commissioner for defying federal immigration law.

Masayoshi Kaji of Sushi Sharin argues that the commissioner’s policy of providing undocumented workers with an administrative forum in which to litigate wage claims and awarding them wages violates the Immigration Reform and Control Act. His attorney believes the case is one of first impression.

“The immigration policy of the United States is that people who are here illegally can’t work and should not be awarded wages,â€

When are people going to learn that you are asking for nothing but trouble when you hire or otherwise do business with illegals.

The moment the situation no longer benefits them, they turn on you and will allege you owe them money. Of course, there are plenty of pro-illegal invader advocates out there who are more than willing to help them along with their efforts, while you will have to hire lawyer to defend your actions!

Is it really worth it! Wouldn't you have been better off hiring American workers and paying them a decent wage?

I also say that anyone who hires or otherwise does business with illegals, in an effort to cheat this country and its citizens, deserves everything they get!
