Just one idea, here and there, finding win/win situations and ignoring the noise from the nutters.

Some people are part of the problem. Maybe he'll be part of the solution.

That's a sensible thing to try to help ex-cons do. It is because the current culture in the U.S. is such that many employers, and nearly all of them that pay $100K/year or more salaries, are unwilling to hire ex-convicts; consequently, ex-convicts' best option for making a decent living is to be self-employed.

I don't know whether or not that's so, but I'm willing to take your word for it.

This great many people make mistakes in life and deserve a second chance.

Many people have the skills that are needed, the problem that come into play as they may have the same problems as the illegal workers and get paid much less because fo their background.
