The common standard for ethical behaviour for citizens of the United States is that you are obligated to report felonies (what the UK calls "an indictable offence").

B:Works for cash....
Depends on how long it's been going on and how much money has changed hands. The alleged employer will be in bigger trouble than the alien.

D:has cocaine....
This is a transportable offence, even if it's not enough cocaine to be a felony. You are also in danger of implicating yourself if you're not careful.

E:Father was involved in a group....
I am not sure what you mean by "dangerous" but if you want to drop me a line privately, I would be happy to give you an opinion. There are groups that are severely discriminated against because they were involved in changing Eastern European systems of government in the 80's and find that because of the way things have gone they are now a threat to the new governments as well.

If you're talking about someone who's discriminated against simply because his family are of the Romii, then it's kind of dumb under English speaking systems of fair play to even think about that issue.

The main thing that worries me is that it was OK for all this stuff to be going on when you thought you were going to be getting somewhere with the guy, and now suddenly it's not OK because he's shown himself to not be your friend.

Pardon me for pointing this out, but I hope you understand that any investigating officer is going to be concerned about what your motives are and how you yourself were involved in these illegal activities.

If he's committing felonious/indictable acts, you have no choice. It's your duty as a citizen to report it.
