It's all wrong across the board. The Workman's Compensation Fund should not fund any unlawful or illegal activity or any person or business engaged in unlawful activity. Under this ruling, illegal aliens employed by drug cartels can claim workman's compensation if they get hurt on the job. After all, the illegal aliens employed in the drug industry "just came here to work, and it winds up being a very unfair situation. They wind up being taken advantage of."

Chancellor Russell T. Perkins ruled last week the law was unconstitutional because it attempted to pre-empt federal immigration law.

"The Court finds that the General Assembly, in enacting (the law) intended to establish what amounts to a state immigration policy," Perkins' order reads.
Does federal law require that state workman's compensation be paid to individuals engaged in unlawful federal activity?

I don't think so, and if it doesn't it, then a state law executed to protect a state private industry funded workman's compensation insurance fund doesn't pre-empt anything. Issuing an order that this fund pay an illegal alien $30,000 is aiding and abetting an illegal alien in the crimes of violating US immigration law, US labor law and US civil rights law.

Shame on you Chancellor Russell T. Perkins. Shame on you! The illegal employer of the illegal alien engaged in unlawful activity is the only entity liable for the man's injury, and that Sir is what you should have ruled.
