[QUOTE="UPS Lifer, post: 984486, member: 9789"] This has always been a talking point. But I was a 16 year old once (I think) and I took a dishwashing job to make money. I kept looking for a better paying job. I just want some other legal citizen to have the opportunity I had to take that dishwashing job. I agree with you on the able bodied collecting benefits. But our politicians have given these folks way to much of a safety net. You are 100% right. Why would anyone try and get a job if they could get paid for months and months to sit on the couch. We are a nanny state that can't afford it and we don't need to add more (possibly 800k) to the mix. [B]I have a question.... Do these illegals qualify for unemployment after they work the minimum required amount of time? Why wouldn't they be able to get benefits that we pay for? Nobody has addressed that yet right? Then we will have the potential of another 800K standing in those same line theoretically. [/B] [/QUOTE]
