This is one of the reasons Wal-Mart outprices its competitors. What'll they do next, employ Al Queida operatives?

The Gummint has allowed this to develop. Cracking down on business is not a solution. Gummint must integrate their new [informal] citizens; they let it happen, they must want them here, it is Gummint's problem.

Not only slept in the back of stores they were actually locked in. Buy American (oh I mean Asian) buy walmart. The Chicoms need the cash to kick your children or grandchildrens ass at a later date. Be proud of your spending habits. Buy Chinese.

And the point is? Just because Wal Mart makes a good target for this type of hypocrisy. Do nothing about the border and then blame the employers. So, they sleep in the store. Big f@@@@g deal. It's probably the safest place for them to stay. I consider that a benefit of the job, not a frikkin problem. Hey feds, I hope that as you prosecute Wal Mart employees, you think you could also deport EVERY SINGLE ONE of those who were here illegally, If its a fact that Wal Mart broke the laws, these workers by definition are, ILLEGAL ALIENS. How can a prosecutor claim you broke the law and then not arrest those who were the object of that law. Would you not need to bring the "evidence" to court?
This is just bizarre.

I smell another DNC "Perjury" and "Obsturction of Justice"
Special blowing up here. Lookout Walmart! The 'RATS are on your tail. Better donate to the DNC and their 'RAT candidates if you want to survive.

So there was this "broken window" theory of law enforcement that seemed to work so well in New York: arrest people for the "small" crimes and you will most likely be arresting people that will ultimately be committing big crimes.

So lets not get all excited about what everything means and who's to blame and what should be done as far as domestic and foreign policy goes.

Lets just arrest, try, and sentence people guilty of crimes: those who are here illegally and those who hire them. And if it can be shown that politicians are receiving bribes in the form of campaign donations in order to look the other way, then they should be convicted as well.

"...it is Gummint's problem."

Come to Hudson County, NJ and you will see it is OUR problem. We have so many foreigners here it's like living in the coat room of the United Nations.

Cracking down on businesses that hire these illegals is the only real solution to this problem coupled with better control of our borders. If businesses don't hire them, they won't come here for jobs, simple. It is against the law for these people(businesses) to hire illegals and they should be dealt with, fined and thrown in jail. This would discourage other businesses from hiring. We need to start there. If Wal-Mart is guilty then they should pay, but so should all businesses that hire illegals.

Really? Is Wal Mart the ONLY retailer that sells Chinese goods? Are only Chinese goods sold at Wal Mart? I bought a TV made in Korea and underwear made in Egypt at Wally World not too long ago?

Where, pray tell, do you shop?

Yup. The Gummint won't take away the illegal aliens, or stop them at the border, but damn right they want to come and take away the employers!

New Jersey has long been the next stop for immigrants after New York City. Nothing new here.

Take another look. The new ones have merely brought their ways with them. Shouldn't be a surprise. It was Gummint that allowed them in, and it is Gummint that should insist on integrating the new ones into our world of formal property rights. The new ones are already extralegal, and cracking down on legal business is closing the barn door after the animals have fled. Wrong place to look.

The employers to the Fed Gov are all pointing fingers at each other. Reminds me of the New Orleans fiasco. But this crisis is never ending. A cat4, and continues to get worse.

Gummint can't very well expect the legal businesses to jump to obey when the Gummint has put them in this position. It has to work both ways, or everybody is going to adapt to some degree of extralegality, ignoring the official law. Law comes from the practice of the people, not from on high--that's well known from legal history.
