As a school custodian, he is paying taxes and probably union dues as well.
In New Jersey, we have 'day workers'(I'm sure that is the case all over as well)-illegals who go to certain places and get picked up by people needing hired help. Most times the people taking on these workers are building contractors and landscapers, which irritates the union workers and can make for inferior workmanship. They are the ones paid in cash and do not pay taxes, they live two families or more in cramped subpar rental housing and slip through the cracks quite easily.
While his beginnings were not stellar, he is obviously a man of pride and enough integrity to willingly help, knowing his status would be in question at some point. Were that those who even came here legally had the standards this man has shown.
