What I don't get is how it happens that these workers were mostly "Eastern European nationals" (code term for "white"). In a nationwide investigation of janitorial contractor employees, what are the chances of this particular group forming the largest component of the illegals found? Does this investigation involve a single contracting firm that has ethnic connections? If so, why was this firm focused on, when Wal-Mart uses many different contractors for janitorial services?

If you go after Hispanic illegal aliens first, people will claim that it's bias, that they're going after Hispanics for racial reasons. If you go after the Polish cleaning ladies first, then when you go after the Hispanics you can deflect the charges of racism.

It has been my personal experience that here in my state (Georgia) it is indeed true that most of the workers for these floor cleaning contractors are young Eastern Europeans. I used to work for a large grocery store chain until recently, and all three floor cleaning contractors we used sent us predominately workers from the Czech Republic.

I'm with you though. It is rather interesting that the Feds would go after one of the very few industries that hire a preponderance of white illigals.
