Well is material, since OP specifically said this:

> please state why you want to fund people who are living in the US illegally

Which I addressed. I also stated that the fact they're here illegally is another matter. This was the line in which I did that, in case you have trouble reading:

> Now, the fact that their business model is so unsound that they can't pay legal minimum wage is a whole other problem.




> please state why you want to fund people who are living in the US illegally

So your argument is that as long as each individual immigrant contributes to society, you're fine with aiding and abetting their breaking of the law? If somebody were a serial bank robber that donated most of their taking to charity, would that be acceptable also, since they're arguably performing a net service to society?

> Now, the fact that their business model is so unsound that they can't pay legal minimum wage

In case you have problems reading, the business model of their employer has no relation towards their legal/illegal status. I don't know why you'd highlight that particular quote of yours.
