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.
I agree that companies that hire should be penalized.
Yep, this company and others like it want to have it both ways. Screw them.
We should keep the focus on HEAVY penalties for hiring illegals. Then we don't need to make insane rulings like these.
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.
A voice of reason. I have worked in a foreign country. One of my American colleagues was detained by the host government for not having the proper paperwork. Fortunately, the foreign company running the project stepped forward and had the paperwork corrected. I imagine that oftentimes the illegal workers here in the USA are smuggled in with the cooperation of CBP/ICE, yet there are are situations where paperwork and beaurocracy are the thin line between legal and illegal. Worker safety and protection should not be denied, else there would be abuse here and in foreign countries where Americans can work. It goes both ways. Some Americans are content to never see the rest of the world (and make some great money while doing so). It is obvious that there is not a simple solution to illegal immigration and shady hiring practices.
Your post is correct.
