Many people are expecting unemployment extensions to go on indefinitely - and it seems that is the case right now, that the government will just keep on paying people not to work. If or when the day comes that the government cannot provide these unemployment paychecks, many people even in California will have a change of heart.
In some ways the pro-illegal side is right, Americans don't want to work very hard especially if an unemployment check is much bigger than what they can get by working hard but it's not feasible to have 10-30% of the population paid just to exist. The day that the unemployment check doesn't show up - there is going to be hell to pay.
Have been a former employer (now retired) and seem to recall that "unemployment" was paid into a fund by the employer and "employees" DO NOT pay into this fund.
At one time a former employee received more from the unemployment fund then what he earned while working for me. After he filed for UI I received a notice that xxx $$$ was charged against my account and thus had to pay more into it. I had to pay in each QTR a percentage of my payroll.
NO...workers DO NOT pay into UI...the employer DOES.
SO...things may have changed over the yrs...nice for the GOVMT to extend the benifits...they are NOT paying it.

I have been saying that exact same thing: if there were no unemployment---------I truly feel there will be social unrest and illegal aliens will be the first to catch flak.

Theodore Roosevelt's ideas on Immigrants and being an AMERICAN in 1907.'In the first place, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the person's becoming in every facet an American, and nothing but an American...There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag... We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language... And we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people.'[/CENTER][/CENTER]

The employers are the ones hiring the illegals. The employers should be paying for extended unemployment since THEY are the ones that created this mess to begin with. I'm not saying ALL employers are responsible, but enough of 'em are. And it sucks that ALL employers are stuck paying for this, but illegals taking our jobs sucks for Americans.
If they want to hire illegals for "pennies" then they should be paying "dollars" to the unemployed
Color me confused, but wasn't there already a similar law in place? I just don't understand why we need another law regarding illegal immigration when we have one that the Federal Government isn't even willing to enforce. They keep giving illegals reasons to come (free health care, free education, free money, ability to work, ect) then they will keep coming

You are not confused. We have many federal laws prohibiting illegal immigration -- USCIS, IRS, DOL, and DHS. Yet, they are not being enforced. The mere notion that “reforming” immigration laws will magically solve our illegal immigration problem is ludicrous. No law will eradicate illegal immigration if its enforcement is considered to be discriminatory against foreigners by the peddlers (exploiting) and the sheeple (supporting) illegal aliens.
We are the only country in the world vilified for even having immigration laws. After all, this is the USA; we have no culture, we have no borders, and all foreigners, regardless of their immigration status, are entitled to be treated as citizens. Anything less, is simply mean-spirited, racist, xenophobic, and anti-Hispanic.

Again you nailed it, Benicar. Truer words were never spoken.
