Sub-contractor's have to deduct taxes from paychecks, and pay workers compensation benefits, etc. When they hire illegals they pay them under the table and pass on any benefits. Wal Mart has a responsibility to know who their sub-contractors hire. I worked at TRW for years and they also hired cleaning crews that can't spit out a word of English. Who cleaned our halls and bathrooms before the immigration wave of the last 5-10 years? They didn't clean themselves.....citizens did! Citizens who can no longer get those jobs because the sub-contractors are mostly hispanic and only work other hispanics. That's all we see here in Southern California.

I say "good for the ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement)! It's about flippin' time! I hope their next stop is Target, K-Mart and Piggly Wiggly.....

Wal Mart has a responsibility to know who their sub-contractors hire.

Certain corporations have been doing more and more "contracting out" jobs because that allows them to avoid wage and labor laws. For example --- if Walmart hires a janitor, that janitor will be covered under overtime laws, FMLA laws and all the rest. Bring in contracted janitors --- Walmart has the same employee but doesn't need to follow the labor laws. Not that I believe in FMLA and many of those laws ---- I don't but it makes it very difficult for the more ethical law-abiding competition to stay in business. How many ethical stores did Walmart shut out of business?
