not sure about this either. Just to cloud the issue further, as someone who has lived in a heavily Mexican neighborhood in Albuquerque, it seems to me that many of the guys with Chihuahua license plates seemed to be self-employed. However, I did not enquire as to anyone's immigration status and driving a vehicle with Mexican tags may in fact indicate legal entry. However, as far as I know, hiring someone to be your full-time gardener without asking his immigration status is illegal, but paying him twenty bucks to cut your grass is not.
