If an immigrant who came to this country without knowing a word of English can do it, you can too. 

You will probably end up breaking two Federal laws: labor/immigration laws (as he may not be authorized to legally work here) and tax laws.You're unlikely to be caught, but you might, and then you face various risks of extra taxes, penalties etc. 

Being an immigrant means that I did not have a SSN so I had to be issued one.

Hunter, we did that whole immigration visa dance (my wife is from Russia and we lived there for years and years), so huge respect for doing this the right way. 

Thanks Marcia,I wouldn't worry about checking for criminal.The US immigration puts every foreigner through the ringer with background checks along with how every dollar got into the country.

Hi Ryan,I just want to chime in to say that there's no reason to believe that it's your responsibility, legally or otherwise, to verify your tenants immigration status.

So what your saying or should I say what Elon is saying there would be such a decline in human population that will run the RE sector to unpredictable lows, which is impossible and if RE was ran by that the government would just ease immigration and add more to the number.

I do think Obama has issues tho, spending, gun control, immigration, education/healthcare/service... some are economy related (debt) while others are political etc. so there are technically a number of issues facing USA right now.

I don't want to pay for the illegal immigrant who comes into this country and has 14 babies born here and claims it's her "right" to get health care for her babies because they are American citizens, yet she can't pay anything because she's on drugs and can't hold down a job.

They conclude, demogodgically, than people who complain about illegal aliens are AGAINST IMMIGRATION.
