The last time they picked up illegals at a Wall Mart they really weren't Wall Mart employees. They worked for a "Sub Contractor"

Seems as if history is repeating itself!

A woman who answered the telephone at Weis Builders hung up on an Associated Press reporter seeking comment.

Probably a wise move. I can't imagine what she could say that would be helpful.

"My respect for Wal-Mart just dropped a few notches."

The more you learn about Wal-Mart, the more your respect will drop for them.

Just once I'd like to see the article end "... are being held without air."

OK - more than once. But once would be a start.

If Wal*Mart really wanted to get it's image up, it would fire any contractor who hired a subcontractor who was an illegal alien. This shouldn't be a forgivable offense.

Also, I think the main reason why construction is so full of illegal immigrants is because employment is so overregulated and unions push up wages. Of course, getting a slap on the wrist for hiring illegal aliens doesn't do much to deter contractors from hiring subcontractors with illegals.

He says the two illegal workers appeared to be employed by a subcontractor hired by the project's main contractor, Weis Builders of Minneapolis.

How can you hold this against Wal-Mart?

two illegal immigrants working on the projects were charged with molesting two 13-year-old girls.

Molested or raped? Is there a pattern here of the media saying girls were "molested" when it's illegals? RAPE IS RAPE! They need to shoot the men who did this.

Note that all of this is part of the "lower prices to consumers" mantra.

Wal-Mart no doubt took the low bid contract. That was supplied by a contractor who chose the lowest priced employees.

Those employees - the illegal aliens - then imposed a cost on society. In this case, the social, emotional, and monetary costs represented by the sexual molestation of two 13 year old girls...and legal costs involved in prosecuting and incarcerating the two pieces of filth that committed the crime.

But what the hey! All bow before the One True God - Lower Prices to Consumers!

I"ll wait for the investigation before I vote to hang. In my city we had two little darling girls falsely charge a man with assault, and I wouldn't say its impossible that young kids would lie. But these two if they are illegal are going to get a ride back home to Mexico and probably where they belong.

(3) The offender knows that the judgment or control of the other person or of one of the other persons is substantially impaired as a result of the influence of any drug or intoxicant administered to the other person with the other person's consent for the purpose of any kind of medical or dental examination, treatment, or surgery.

(4) The other person, or one of the other persons, is less than thirteen years of age, whether or not the offender knows the age of that person.

(F) Upon approval by the court, the victim may be represented by counsel in any hearing in chambers or other proceeding to resolve the admissibility of evidence.
