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.
