Quebec student shaken by U.S. border ordeal

[AnnaG]

Hey... people are volunteering to work at organic farms?!

Now there's a business to open. Free labour. All I'd need to provide would be room and board. Sweet deal that is. I'll even provide work clothes and take care of the laundry too at no extra charge.

And if I'm getting free work out of them, no worries, I'd be more than willing to pay for their visa. Small price to pay for free labour.

If that farm could not have even paid for her Visa, no worries, my farm will.

I have a cousin with a ranch. We pitched in to help with the haying a few times. A couple of the help, my hubby included, ate suppers afterwards consisting of 4 pork steaks, a couple spuds, veggies, and a couple pieces of pie for dessert. I'd say your grocery bill would skyrocket.

It must certainly cost less than actually paying them a taxable hourly wage though. They'll have to pay their own transport there and back, but yes, I'll pay the Visa.

Why would you be the one to worry about their taxes?

Anyway, I hope you research a lot before leaping into this venture. Here's a start:

Ah well, sure there'd be some costs involved, but without having to pay them a salary, as long as I can make them work hard (I was thinking of an 8 pm to 4 am schedule so they can't complain about the heat:lol, I'd still make a profit.
