Illegal aliens can receive workers compensation if they are injured on the job. If you are working for your employer when you are injured, you are eligable for worker's compensation regardless of your residential status.

The above doesn't address those illegal aliens that are exploited. There have been cases where illegal aliens working in packing houses that have not been given a paycheck for a weeks work under the threat of being deported.
Many illegal aliens do not know our laws and in the construction companies these illegal aliens are told they are independents, thus making it possible for these construction firms to get away with complying with the law with respects to employees.
The only stories ever told are the ones where illegal aliens are getting some benefit in this countries. Rare are the stories told of the illegal aliens being exploited and this isn't because these cases of exploitation are rare.
