The white house has singled out the Home Depot as a place for increased immigration elated crackdowns. Critics say this is a bad idea, however proponents say that by removing incentives for illegal immigration, like the ease at which unlawful employment can be secured, you help secure america's border.

Call the police, tell them there’s an illegal in your parking lot. I’m sure they’ll take care of it for you.
Don’t hold your breath, better yet, bring a lunch, you’ll be waiting a while.
true
I was dining Mexican with my wife last evening. Everything in the place was written and spoken in Spanish. The clientele was 95% Hispanic.
I whispered to my wife, “What would happen if we yelled, ‘ICE!’ as we left the place?” Better yet, “We promise not to call ICE if you give us half price.”
We would never do that.
As we left, however, two law enforcemenent vehicles across the street were engaged in assessing/apprehending what appeared to be a skinny, drunk white boy.
Whatever.
Can you please refrain from the cussing, or implied cussing? Yes, I’ve done it myself, but it really doesn’t add anything to the conversation in this case.
Why do illegals hate Lowes?
Phoenix may be doing something similar to what the Dallas area does - providing "day labor centers" so the congregation of illegals remains out of public view. In Dallas, empty retail spaces such as former grocery stores (even some of the older Walmart locations) remain unmarked, with only the "For Lease" sign out front - but the day laborers are given that address to go to.
Inside, some advocacy group has a paperwork system that logs the contractor info, dates of work, type of work, etc. The idea is primarily to "protect" the worker from non-paying contractors. I'll bet they have some arrangement where the A/C is on in the summer, too - and probably some TVs tuned to Univision.
The government is setting itself up for a major lawsuit, if they harm HD’s sales.

I am not a lawyer, nor play one on TV or stayed at a Holiday Inn but I don’t really think Home Depot (or any business) can sue based on law enforcement enforcing the law.
I agree, not for enforcing the law, but methods must be applied equally to all businesses.
This story indicates only HD being “singled out” for enforcement. Pretty sure there’s an old document that will argue this method.
York, PA.
HD and Lowe’s are about 2miles apart here, so the criminal, illegal, alien invaders drift back and forth, looking for work, and harassing customers. York cops pretty much keep them in-check, thru the Summer.
They need to be undercover INSIDE the Home Depot. Every time I go there I hear way too much Spanish.
HOME DEPOT HAS CHOICES:
THEY CAN RUN THEM OFF OF PRIVATE PROPERTY
THEY CAN CEASE BUILDING “SHELTERS” FOR THEM IN THE MIDDLE OF PRIME PARKING IN THEIR PARKING LOTS-—FORCING PAYING CUSTOMERS TO PARK FURTHER OUT FROM THE ENTRANCES.
THEY CAN REALIZE THE PAYING CUSTOMERS DO NOT WISH TO BE HARASSED BY THESE PERSONS. THEY ARE INSULTING THE PAYING CUSTOMERS.
SOOOOOOO-—YES-—HOME DEPOT IS PART OF THE PROBLEM.
THEY ARE NOT KEEPING THEM OFF PRIVATE PROPERTY.
HOW MUCH HAVE I SPENT AT LOWE’S???
I have owned my own homes since 1966.
That represents a fair amount of money.
Getting ready to re-roof my current house-—and materials alone will run just under $4000. NOT ONE PENNY IS GOING TO HOME DEPOT-—BUYING AT LOWE’S.
IN CALIF-—HD BUILT “SHELTERS” IN THE MIDDLE OF THE BEST PARKING AREA FOR THE ILLEGALS.
SINCE IT IS PRIVATE PROPERTY-—CAN ONLY ASSUME HD DID SO BY DESIGN
CAUSED ME TO CEASE GOING THERE.
THEY ABSOLUTELY CAN HIRE SECURITY TO KEEP THEM OFF THEIR PRIVATE PROPERTY IF NECESSARY.
I DO NOT SEE SECURITY AT LOWE’S-—SO WHATEVER METHOD THEY USE—IT WORKS-—NO LINGERERS THERE—NO HOMELESS
YOU HAVE THAT RIGHT WITH YOUR PROPERTY-—
SO DOES HOME DEPOT
NEVER HAVE SEEN SUCH AT LOWE’S-—3 different ones in my current area.
Where I live, in Florida, Lowes is like a ghost town, prices are super high, that’s why no one is there looking for construction work.
HD is the only big yard around, they need Menard’s to come in and show them how to do business.
I hate HD, but it’s the only game in my town.
They don’t cause any trouble around here as far as I know. Other HD and Lowe’s stores around here don’t seem to have nearly as many day laborers hanging around. I think these nearby stores get a lot of traffic because if one store doesn’t have what you want, it’s easy to go next door to look for it.
Good grief!
I was on the front lines of this epic government sponsored invasion for decades in California. How about you? Home Depots had illegal aliens literally camping out on their properties, harassing customers, breaking into cars, drinking, etc., all while screwing legitimate individuals out of jobs. None of this is a secret or complex. Of course they condone it....Gezzuz
How can you possibly be so freaking naive?
Perhaps, because I’m not a regular HD customer? Perhaps, because I don’t live in a 3rd world shithole, democrat run city? Perhaps not all Home Depots are like the one you describe?
Not all their locations are like the one on your block.
With comments you made here, I would have guessed you're a shut-in or you've never been to a big city.
Home Depot is guilty as hell!
