Home Is Where Cheap Rent Is
I am confused. Are you stating that non US citizens /non green card holders are entitled to California Unemployment Insurance? Are there limitations to benefits to non US citizens? Are they entitled to federal extensions? I would be interested to know what other government assisted benefits they are entitled to. I understand their permit allows then to work in US, but I would be interested to know how that works for non US residents. Do they pay taxes the same as US citizens/Permanent US residents (green card), do they file US tax returns? Are they entitled to public assistance? Do their childrern get to go to school here? I hear a lot of complaining going on, but I am not knowledgeable enough in the specifics of how the system or process works to form an opinion. Perhaps The Reader can educate it's readers on the facts?— September 20, 2009 12:39 p.m.
