Alabama illegal alien news

Illegal aliens in Virginia and Tennessee
Snippets: But the story gets worse. She needed a translator because in two years she still can't speak a word of English. She just popped two babies, was illiterate, and unskilled. Known as "anchor babies," illegals seek to have children on US soil that by a technicality in the Constitution makes their children automatically citizens. As automatic US citizens, her kids get welfare, she is on welfare, and the taxpayers are stuck with the bills. Good going WCYB.
The stories are many, willing employers in need of willing employees. But if labor is tight, shouldn't wages rise? They're not. A recently completed technical study, in fact, found just the opposite in high-tech fields. Starting salaries adjusted for inflation of computer engineers with masters led the fall, down 14 percent over the last five years. Electrical engineers and computer scientists fared only slightly better. Quoting John Miano, Programmers Guild, "We have a huge influx of low-wage workers coming into the technology fields which are holding back wages and which are causing employment problems for U.S. workers."
Bill Tucker, "The impact goes beyond wages. On online job sites, employers are very direct in specifying that they have jobs only for H1-B workers, going so far in some cases as to require that they be from a specific location. If misery loves company, the engineers need look no further than the construction industry. Overall, construction wages last year were actually one penny lower than hourly wages in 1965, when the wages are compared using constant dollars. It was a finding that surprised even the researcher."
ALAN TONELSON, U.S. BUSINESS & INDUSTRY COUNCIL, "I was struck by the fact that after this enormous housing boom that we've had, certainly since the late 1990s, that wages in the construction industry, which, as we keep hearing is a major user of illegal immigrants, are no higher than they were 40 years ago."
Illegal aliens in Ohio and Workman's Comp
Snip: The Ohio statute expressly includes “aliens” without differentiating between legal or illegal aliens. At least one Ohio court has held that the statute therefore encompasses illegal aliens. The court noted that if the Ohio legislature had intended to cover only legal aliens, it could easily have done so, since the Ohio unemployment compensation statute makes such a distinction, and the same workers’ compensation statute defining “employee” specifically excludes certain persons from the definition (e.g., ministers, officers of a family farm corporation, etc.) but not illegal aliens. See Rajeh v Steel City Corp., 157 Ohio App.3d 722.
