Rantz: Dems push unemployment for illegal immigrants, try skirting federal govt.
Sen. Rebecca Saldaña and Sen. Karen Keiser.
While there are still thousands of Washington residents missing unemployment checks, Washington Democrats are pushing legislation to establish a $350,000,000 unemployment program for illegal immigrants. They’re even trying to avoid the “very irritating” federal government from taking notice.
But lawmakers don’t know who would fund the program. They acknowledge employers can’t pay premiums on employees they hired illegally. That means, if passed, taxpayers could pay for the unemployment benefits.
What’s worse, the program Democrats set up would be very easy to defraud. The state can’t even verify the worker is eligible for the unemployment.
