Single Mom's Start Cooperative Business



Single Moms need help feeding the kids the father's not obviously doing. Check on the laws in your area for having carts, stands, or taking orders from you home and delivering tamales, baking breads, ethnic specialty's that others would buy. More; as times become tough to survive, and social agency's are over-loaded, this style of living with some variations will come into vogue. My parents sold vegetable at one time. Grow a Organic produce and trade/sell as we did. Point is you can sell anything. Organize your own co-ops

From a conversation with a fellow immigrant advocate, Cohen realized that a cooperative business could be a solution because, surprisingly, the law does not explicitly prohibit undocumented immigrants from starting a business.


Under the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986 (IRCA), employers face penalties for knowingly hiring undocumented immigrants or continuing to employ immigrants upon discovering they are undocumented. But the IRCA does not use any specific language to bar undocumented immigrants from owning a business.
“The employment sanctions provisions of immigration law refer specifically to the employment of undocumented noncitizens and were aimed at targeting employers,” says Professor Leticia Saucedo, who researches employment, labor, and immigration law at the University of California, Davis. “It does not speak to undocumented noncitizens as employers, although it does prohibit knowingly contracting undocumented noncitizens for labor.”


In other words, they cannot be employees, but they can be employers.
Carlos Pérez de Alejo, executive director of Cooperation Texas, an Austin-based worker-cooperative development center, recommends that undocumented workers form their cooperative businesses as limited liability companies. That legal structure allows each member to be an owner.
He would know. Cooperation Texas trained and consulted with the women who created Dahlia Green Cleaning, a 4-year-old undocumented-worker-owned cooperative also in Austin.
