Good! Deport 'em and jail the folks who hired 'em.

Hoping to read many more articles like this one in the near future.

Where did this quote come from? I didn't see it in the article.

Uh, er, go to the source link.

I looked at the product this man told me about and there were no notices of underweight product. How often to they do things like that? I do not know.

I once new a butcher who put 1 lb of salt into every 10 lbs of hamburger. Hamburger sold for 29 cents, salt was only 3 cents.

You and others need to read the article. The illegals were released. They were all obvious flight risks, yet they were released....

As several other posters stated, "This is nothing but window dressing".

Blue light sale on

Sorry to be picky, but Blue light sale is a K-Mart gag.

OK, thanks. I didn't realize it was an exerpt!

.Unless stopped, they will destroy this country...

I am afraid that is the plan. What explanation can there be for the willful disregard for the enforcement of existing laws? Plus this mad long dash to legalize all the current illegals. It defies all logic for both parties to be stuffing this down the TAXPAYERS throat. Just paint me a pessimist I guess, but I think it is to late to recover from this invasion.

Yep, those non english speaking floor cleaner that comes in after the store is closed and is gone before it is opened in the mornin' probably interacted all the time with the WalMart Execs!

Most Wal-Marts never close, so figure out something else to complain about. Go back and read the original statement, the investigation also involved Wal-Mart management complicity.

You could be right. Many believe that this whole immigration nightmare is no accident, and our standard of living is being lowered to a level that's inline with most of the rest of the world.

Lets face it, it's much easier to control a population that is uneducated, unskilled, where most of the people don't ask questions or complain, and will work for next to nothing...It makes it real easy for the government to have complete control.

If they decided to crack down, they could clean up 50,000 in the San Fernando Valley alone by doing sweeps at every Uhaul, Ryder, Home Depot location. They are hiding in plain sight!, hoping to work for the day for cash.

Heck, bust the people that hire them.

But no....that would be too logical...its a joke.

[Joe Hadenuf]

Agree......

Important Message:

Lou Dobbs of CNN's Moneyline has been relentless in covering the crisis of Illegal Immigration as well as the Unfair Trade Practices that are De-industrializing America and the H1b/L1v Visa scams that are throwing thousands of Americans out of work. He tackles these subjects head on, does in-depth reporting on them which sometimes takes up more than half his show, and invariably gets to the truth of the matter.

Mr. Dobbs is the ONLY television journalist that is really Telling It Like It Is on a continual basis.

May I suggest that all concerned Freepers drop Lou Dobbs a line at his CNN website and thank him for having the courage to cover what the rest of the media will not.

I'm sure Lou is getting a lot of heat from the "Powers That Be".

[Joe Hadenuf]

You bet, Lou Dobbs is one of the few that dares go there...

Compared to the likes of Tony Snow and this guy, what's his name.........Hannity....Sheesh, what a dweeb.....

I have talked to some white electricians and plumbers who say the Illegals are landscapers, masons, slab pourers, and were not concerned about it. In other words, they did make the argument about the Mexicans being the only ones who would do certain jobs for the money paid by the builder. They said they themselves were not threatened or concerned by it.

I figured they might have looked at it differently, but no.

Come test drive the new 2004 Hyundai Basura!

Got to admit it has a nice ring to it...

Huh? LOL! What are you talking about, everyone working in the construction industry except the owners, are outraged as their freaking wages are being incrementally reduced, as they are having to compete with illegals, that are less skilled, but work for less and don't bitch....

In some cases it's plain old customer stupidity and the stuff made in China ends up costing more than the stuff made in the USA.

Real world example, bulk CAT5E network cable.

The riser-rated (CMR) CAT5E cable at COMP*USA costs $100 for a 1000' roll. It's made in China with a brand name of either Belkin or AESP.

The riser-rated (CMR) CAT5E cable at Home Depot costs $49.95 for a 1000' roll. It's made in the USA by General Cable.

I have some doubts are to whether that overpriced Chinese-made cable actually meets the UL specs for CMR cable, but that's just me.

In other news, Wal Mart is now filing for Bankruptcy.

They might look at it differently if it ever comes to the point where you only need to know the right people and grease the right palms to get your electrician's or plumber's license.

Do they even bother to license electricians or plumbers in Mexico?
