LANSING -- They weren't your average protesters Thursday at the state Capitol.
Some were illegal immigrants, rallying for the state to grant them rights to workers' compensation.
"We're only one of two states in the nation that does not allow workers that are undocumented to compensate when they are injured on the job," said state Rep. Rashida Tlaib from Detroit.
She introduced a bill Thursday in the House that would change that -- extend Michigan's workers' compensation rights to illegal immigrants.
Tlaib says many of the estimated 100,000 illegals in Michigan are workers. And while most of them pay into social security and real estate taxes, none of them is afforded the right to compensation if they're injured on the job.
"Allowing workers' compensation for all injured workers is a better system than allowing people to be part of a black market of undocumented workers," Tlaib said at the rally.
Some of her fellow lawmakers, though, say her bill doesn't stand a chance.
"The only thing we should be giving illegal immigrants is a bus ride home," said state Rep. Rick Jones, R-Grand Ledge, after hearing about the bill.
He pointed out many illegal immigrants defraud companies with fake social security numbers in order to land jobs -- jobs he says should go to Michiganders.
"Companies pay into this system," Jones said Thursday. "It's very expensive, and it should be there for a hard-working American."
But Tlaib and others point out that requiring companies to pay workers' comp might discourage them from hiring illegal immigrants in the first place.
We’re only one of two states in the nation that does not allow workers that are undocumented to compensate when they are injured on the job,” said state Rep. Rashida Tlaib from Detroit.
I thought the name sounded muzzie, the face of the enemy.
He qualifies for Section 8 housing and subsidized rent. He qualifies for welfare, food stamps (one-quarter of state welfare payments and food stamps issued in Los Angeles County go to children whose parents are in the U.S. illegally).
He gets no deductible, no co-pay free health care. His children get free school breakfasts and lunches. The kids qualify for monthly SSI checks by faking ADD; the illegal and his illegal parents get SSI by being aged, and/or faking being blind or disabled; SSI qualifies them for Medicare.
Plus illegals don't have to worry about pricey items like car insurance, life insurance, or homeowners insurance, and they qualify for relief from high energy bills.
ALL OF THAT IS COLLECTED WITH JUST ONE IDENTITY Evidence shows illegals establish several identities with phony SS nos and fake documents (which these "poor immigrants" buy from document brokers for several thousand dollars). All those phony identities vote, too.
=================================================
Greedy illegals with their hands out---violate our borders, corrupt our laws----enjoy a perpetual free ride on the US gravy train. Illegals riding the US gravy train increase tax-paying, law abiding American families' state and federal taxes, homeowners and auto insurance, utilities and healthcare.

REFERENCE A 2009 poll of Mexicans showed Mexicans in America---including those born in the United States---are more loyal to Mexico than the US.
QUOTING FORMER CONG TOM TANCREDO (R-Colo) Juan Hernandez headed up the Mexican govt agency, "Ministry of Mexicans Living in the United States. Hernandez is a dual citizen of the United States and Mexico, and a good friend of then-presidents Bush and Mexico's Vicente Fox." Hernandez was presidential candidate John McCain's Hispanic outreach man.
Hernandez explained to Cong Tancredo the purpose of the Mexican government agency: Ministry of Mexicans Living in the United States:
(1) to increase the flow of Mexican nationals to the United States.....
(2) to compel Mexican nationals in the US to serve Mexico’s needs;
(3) to increase US remittances to Mexico of $50 billion a year (30% of the Mexican GDP);
(4) to get US jobs for an exploding Mexican population, alleviating Mexico's social instability due to rising unemployment;
(5) to get free US training for Mexicans, who are expected to return and repatriate those skills back to Mexico.
Hernandez supports amnesty: "By populating the United States with millions of Hispanics tied economically, politically and linguistically to Mexico, we are able to exert enormous influence and pressure on US policy and its dealings with Mexico."

NOTE: " Exerting enormous influence and pressure on US policy and its dealings with Mexico" means extorting billions of US tax dollars to subsidize corrupt Third World federales.
you’re missing 3.
they don’t pay real estate taxes. someone legal pays real estate taxes, and typically do it at the wrong rate, as the majority of them live in what should be classified as multi-family dwellings.
