1. I am sure that the lawyer is playing his hand because this is high profile.

2. If you work for a company that works for Wal-Mart, how does that even implicate Wal-Mart? Wal-Mart should never have issued a statement other than the name of the contractor service.

3. Dred Scott US Supreme court decision: Non US Citizens cannot sue in a federal court.

Why won't this story just die? Because the media doesn't want it to die.

See, e.g., Plyler v. Doe, 457 U.S. 202 (1982).

"Whatever his status under the immigration laws, an alien is surely a "person" in any ordinary sense of that term, and thus, is entitled to protection under equal protection clause."

"That person's initial entry into state, or into United States, was unlawful, and that he may for that reason be expelled, cannot negate simple fact of his presence within state's territorial perimeter for purposes of equal protection clause."

But...
"[the] state may withhold its beneficence from those whose very presence within United States is product of their own unlawful conduct"
