Chart of the day: Illegal aliens get what?
Reader A.F. e-mails the chart of the day. He writes: “Michelle, I work peripherally for the insurance industry and get the industry’s magazine National Underwriter. The May 8 issue contains a cover story titled: “Workers Comp for Illegal Aliens Sparks Debate Among the States.” A box within the text describes which states already provide WC for illegal aliens: “CA, FL, NV, NY, TX and UT expressly include illegal aliens in the WC coverage” —- UTAH??? So you can come to the US, work illegally, complain of headaches caused by a little slip and fall and you can go on drinking Dos Equis with my tax dollars for the rest of your natural life. What a country!”
I’ve mentioned the illegal alien workers’ comp scheme before in immigration speeches over the years and have been met with skepticism. The trend has only exploded since I first reported on it.
Here it is in black and white:

How about liver transplants for Japanese gangsters?
I worked for several yrs for a CO WC defense firm. Although ti supposedly says that ‘legally authorized’ aliens…that’s BS. I can give you information about several different illegals that have received or are receiving WC benefits..if they have not settled.
One of them is a young man. Walked across a stairwell & the cardboard broke, sending him down 2 floors. His co-workers PICKED him up and moved him to his uncle’s truck, instead of calling 911. Left him there for the day, moved him to his uncle’s LR and he was finally taken to the ER 24 hrs after incident. He is a quad – however, since he can move some fingers slightly, he is a high functioning quad who had a vehicle retrofitted so he could drive. House was retrofitted. His mother, wife and toddler daughter were brought up here to care for him and were being paid for caring for him. That’s 4 of them here. They were in the midst of settlement discussions when I left, but there were a LOT of demands. He was working for a sub that didn’t have WC, so it fell to the contractor to pay for it.
Another woman, in her 50s, lost her job after an injury. She was released back to work and the position was discontinued…economic downturn. She was able to draw permanent and total disability, in spite of being released for work with no restrictions. Her ‘disability’? Little to no English. If you are Spanish speaking, WC injury and can’t get another job, you can claim total/perm if you cannot speak enough English to get another job! This woman has been here over 20 years…she can speak English, but we had no way to prove it.
Swift was one of our clients – the plant ICE did a big raid on 2 yrs ago…yep…had a number of claims the day after it.
CO gives WC to illegals, they just do not want to advertise it, but if you are an employer here hiring illegals, then they can claim WC for job injuries and get it. If you do not carry it since all your employees are illegals…look out. You will be in trouble. Not for hiring illegals, but for not having WC for them.
