Judge ruling grants unemployment benefits to some aliens
In Lufkin a federal judge ruled that aliens permanently residing in the United States cannot be denied unemployment benefits if otherwise qualified. The decision, tied to Fidel B. Ibarra Jr. of Mexico who was denied benefits after a 1983 layoff, could force Texas to pay millions as thousands may be covered. The case began when Ibarra, a father of nine, was told he had no right to compensation as an undocumented alien.
