State governments are now transferring millions of dollars into the hands of unemployed illegal aliens.
INTRODUCTION Illegal aliens are not eligible for federal unemployment benefits.
The Federal Unemployment Tax Act requires states to take precautions that prohibit illegal aliens from filing claims for unemployment compensation.
The unemployment insurance system grew out of the Great Depression.
Unemployment benefits were never intended to provide uninvited foreigners with the financial wherewithal to continue violating U.S. immigration laws - so illegal aliens have always been excluded from the program.
In a move that The Economist called "Revolutionary," a number of state governments have now rolled out programs that use taxpayer funds to pay unemployment benefits to illegal foreign workers.
What's even worse is that, if supporters have their way, these programs could become permanent, requiring U.S. citizens to pay out-of-work illegal aliens billions of dollars every year.
