"The left is out to hit Wal-Mart. They are one of the few large companies that is NON-UNION. That is what all of the blame Wal-Mart is about, I can promise you."

Thank you, thank you!!!

This was my thinking the second I heard about this. I KNOW that Walmart is causing smaller stores to close because of their lower prices...but why on earth should I buy (for example) a carton of Cool Whip for $1.79 at Albertsons when I can get it for $ .97 at Walmart? (Of course, Albertsons et al have to jack up prices to pay for all of those union employees making $20-$30 an hour.) Of course, IBP (owned by Tyson Chicken) has hired hundreds of Bosnians and Mexicans. I don't know if they're all legals or not, but IBP is union, so they won't be touched. And Tyson's owner being a friend of Bill and Hil doesn't hurt, either.

Sorry, Americans won't work for minimum wage nor hold down two jobs until something better comes along; out of work Americans prefer welfare. Leave the dirty, low-level work to the immigrants.

I agree with you about Wal-Mart, which is a great American Company that has done more to improve the living standard of the average rural American than any politician. I doubt they're a guilty party because they were not the ones who hired the illegals.

However, I have to take issue with you here:

Sorry, Americans won't work for minimum wage nor hold down two jobs until something better comes along; out of work Americans prefer welfare. Leave the dirty, low-level work to the immigrants.

Pure BS. There are plenty of low-skill, low intelligence Americans out there who are more than happy to do do dirty jobs. Do you know what the unemployment rate is for high-school dropouts?
