""California law has expressly declared immigration status irrelevant to the issue of liability to pay compensation to an injured worker," the three-judge panel said in a unanimous ruling issued late Monday. Pays to live in a socialist state.

This should be a wake-up call to US employers who choose to hire illegals. What ever happened to the I-9 requirement?
To: pitinkie
I am agaisnt hiring illegal workers to start with . However you cannot allow a company to hire illegals and then claim they dont have to pay compensation because they are illegal.
IMO this company sucks. They hire illegals pay them low wages and then try to screw them if they are injured. Low life bastards should be prosecuted for hiring illegals to start with.
To: sgtbono2002
I agree that companies that hire should be penalized.

Great. So the taxpayer and other legitimately operating businesses will pick up the tab for workers, paid in cash under the table, and for whom no Workers Comp/Employment Taxes have been paid by the employer of Illegals.
Just one more incentive for an employer to scam the system and hire Illegals.

1) Illegals are just that, illegal. Ship them back to mexico for treatment.
2) Jail any employer that knowingly hires illegals (Economic terrorists). Charge the company for the deportation, treatment of said illegal and run a thorough OSHA inspection. OH, and make sure the OSHA inspector is the one going through a nasty divorce and got cut off in traffic on the way to work, spilling hot coffee all over his lap.

Undocumented workers who are hurt on the job are entitled to workers' compensation benefits, a state appeals court ruled. Utter insanity.

We should keep the focus on HEAVY penalties for hiring illegals. Then we don't need to make insane rulings like these.

Well, this ruling should get us an extra 500,000 or so extra illegals annually.
I have a suggestion regarding the judges. However, due to FR rules, it's best I not post such material.

Cause him to trip on the rug on the way back in.

P.S. I think even God is fed up (i.e., Francis, Jean, Ivan, Katrina, Rita, Wilma......)
When I heard yesterday that the gay/lesbian crew has reading books in Kindergarten promoting their God-awful, disgusting life style, I concluded that it's all over.

Anyone who knowingly hires an illegal alien should be subject to criminal prosecution.
An illegal alien should not be eligible for worker's compensation, social security, or any other benefits. An illegal alien is a criminal. All illegal aliens should be notified of this. Anyone applying for a job should be notified that if he/she is an illegal alien, he/she is not eligible for the benefits due the law abiding.

Now that the whole world knows that Rafael Rios is an illegal alien, does anyone think there is even the remotest possibility that he now will be deported?
