Many are talking about the recent case in which a Florida judge awarded an illegal immigrant worker's compensation benefits even though the worker is an illegal alien. The on the job injury occurred at a construction company early last year. Lawmakers Concerned About Work Comp Case is just one of the articles that one could find explaining some of the details of this awkward case.
A panel of of three judges from the First District Court of Appeals found that the illegal worker, Luis Aragon, was entitled to the benefits that normal citizens would obtain after an on the job injury. The judges thought process was that it was the only right thing to do. The judges contend that the insurance company should pay for the medical care instead of the taxpayers amid unreimbursed medical treatment.
Many of Florida's state representatives disagree with the crazy decision including Ritch Workman. He believes, like most, that the insurance company should recoup all expenses involved in this case from the construction company. Sure, it's only a misdemeanor to hire an illegal immigrant in Florida but it should be a felony for both the employer and the employee. It is against the law to be an illegal alien. Florida has more strict laws than other states due to problems like these. Some suggest that the business license be revoked from the construction company or any other businesses that hire those that break the law right in front of your face without concern. Who would want to hire someone with these qualities and characteristics in the first place regardless of low wages?
To make things worse and to strain the court system furthermore, the lower court judge with all his pseudo wisdom awarded this same illegal alien permanent total disability benefits on a continuous basis because he felt that the law breaker was going to have great difficulty obtaining another job due to the lack of the English language. Are you kidding me? This judge gave a law breaker free money for life because he can't speak English. What? The illegal immigrant should have been given prompt medical care and then immediately deported.
Experienced Workers Comp Doctors and Physicians are available with some research regardless if the work comp system is being strained by the poor decisions like the judges mentioned above as well as the increased premiums because of the illegal workers like the one mentioned above. Where do you stand on this delicate problem? Comment below.

Illegal immigration is a polarizing political and social issue. Many people hate illegal immigrants. Others regard them as an indispensable part of the American labor force. There are 10 million to 11 million illegal immigrants (for rather obvious reasons no one knows the exact number), and illegal immigrants are thought to amount to about 5 percent of the total labor force. Because they tend to do jobs that few Americans want, and because their wages are below average, many (though by no means all) economists believe that the illegal immigrants actually increase the wages of Americans (including legal immigrants). The reason is that the existence of a large body of low-wage workers increases the demand for goods and services both by reducing the cost of production and by their own purchases as consumers, and increased demand for goods and services translates into increased demand for labor and hence higher wages. This is not a certainty but seems a good guess of the effect of illegal immigrants. Illegal immigrants do receive some social services, but fewer than citizens do. It is unclear whether they commit more crimes on average than citizens; they may commit fewer. Of course, some illegal immigrants are criminals, and the Obama administration has decided to focus the very limited resources of the federal immigration enforcement authorities on catching and deporting the criminals. Focusing on them and leaving the law-abiding (law-abiding except for the immigration law itself!) illegal immigrants seems a defensible policy. And certainly state and local law enforcement can assist the feds in apprehending illegal immigrants who commit crimes (being in this country without legal authorization is unlawful, but, with some exceptions, it is not criminal); nothing in the Arizona decision prevents that.

It is precisely the same with ‘Birthright Citizenship Act’ Smuggling babies by foreign women onto these shores, is by far the most expensive deficit engineered by the Liberal activist judges, using an inept 14th Amendment that needs to be revised. Without it 400.000 pregnant illegal alien females yearly will keep turning up in our overcrowded emergency rooms, gaining the free ticket that’s available under the present law.

…McCaskill, in turn, reaffirmed her longstanding argument that the best way to battle illegal immigration is to enforce stiff penalties on employers who knowingly hired illegals and, for example, “put 14 in a hotel room …and pay them $200 in cash on Fridays” to work as roofing or lawn crews. Such jobs are the real enticement for illegal immigrants and their disappearance is the best was to discourage it, the senator said. However, McCaskill emphasized that she also had sympathy for some teenagers who had been brought to the United States as infants or toddlers by their illegal-immigrant parents. The teens (some who were unaware of their illegal status) now face deportation, because their status became known when they applied for college or the military.

What?, only illegal immigrants can pick the crops? Legal ones cant? Laws only apply to Americans and legal immigrants but not illegal immigrants?If illegal immigrants pay taxes and dont get returns its because their illegal and dont be long here,Do it the right way and they get a tax return.and it isnt just about taxes,its also about being accounted for as a US citizen.People can make up all kinds of reasons or excuses.But it is as simple as can be,either your here illegally or your a legal US citizen.Those of us that are US citizens are held accountable for our actions and pay our fair share of taxes for schools,public roads,hospitals,law enforcement, the list is long.To come here as an illegal and expect the same entitlements without paying their fair share of taxes and not be held accountable for their actions is a slap in the face to every US citizen in this nation.They cant be held accountable if you dont even know their here.We try and teach our kids right from wrong and that if they break the law that they will be held accountable for their actions.What is this saying, that its ok to break some laws?Not holding illegals accountable for their actions is no better then not holding thieves accountable for their actions.I invite anyone who wants a better life to come to this Country,But you must come thru the front door plain and simple.

Two decades after he illegally slipped over the U.S. border from Mexico, Oscar’s life as an illegal immigrant finally had caught up to him. A few months earlier, a Tacoma police officer had stopped Oscar on his drive to work for a cracked windshield. The cop quickly discovered Oscar was driving with a suspended license – an offense he’d been busted for several times before. Oscar was arrested and booked.

ok, you people who say you are from mexico (from the very top) are obviously so ignorant and set a bad example of what mexicans talk like.. Illegal immigrants OVERPOPULATE america and take part in RUINING the economy. No offense, but you all SHOULD stay out of our country. They take up what we americans have. I understand that some illegal immigrants just came because they were in danger in their home country, but others who come to 1. hurt people 2. they dont “like” their home country, we dont appreciate you in this country very much.

State Republicans have long sought to clamp down on illegal immigration and passed the law earlier this year after gaining control of the Legislature for the first time since Reconstruction. Alabama Gov. Robert Bentley signed the measure, saying it was crucial to protect the jobs of legal residents amid the tough economy and high unemployment.
