Feds: Wal-Mart Execs Knew Workers Illegal

Associated Press ^ | November 7, 2005 | Marcus Kabel

Bottom line is it's the Feds job / responsibility to secure the borders. And they are not. What are we paying them for?

[RightWhale]

What are we paying them for?

They are to maintain a recorders office for registration of titles, deeds, licenses, and other contracts. Anything beyond that better be national defense.

[sarasmom]

Cool!
Start charging and fining businesses who knowingly hire illegals through employment agencies that are set up to provide a "legal buffer zone" against the practice of hiring illegals.
Let us also directly start charging and fining those employment agencies.
And direct employers of illegals.
Including all levels of government, from the bottom to the top!
That is exactly what most of us have been screaming about!
And no, I do not have an illegal cleaning my dwelling, mowing my grass, or fixing my car.

[BurbankKarl]

Oh brother!

Working for a wage should not be a crime. It is the job of government to control the borders and kick people out who don't belong here. Government and libs are the hypocrites here. Why should we punish WalMart for hiring illegals when the government provides FREE SERVICES to these same people?

1) It is illegal for a school to ask your immigrant status when you enroll in school.

2) Illegal immigrants get in-state tuition at state universities.

3) Hospitals are NOT permitted to ask illegal status before providing care - emergency or otherwise.

4) Other social services are provided to illegals and the government does not ask for immigration status.

5) Police are not allowed to check immigration status when making arrests.

The list goes on and on. Businesses are not law enforcement. Why do we expect them to check immigrant status when we don't even allow government agencies to do the same thing?

Why do we prosecute Walmart for paying wages for work done when the governments gives money to the same people for no work?

Yes, I'm mad as hell about this! (sorry to take it out on you.)

[Sterco]

Like you say guy. I have to drive to work (no choice) I have to take my kids to school (no choice). At some point I drive to buy groceries etc. Stand on the box and tell us how it is. Tell us how much interest you have in the energy companies while you are at it or "shut the ----up".

[Black Tooth]

Start charging and fining businesses who knowingly hire illegals through employment agencies that are set up to provide a "legal buffer zone" against the practice of hiring illegals.

Many of us have been calling for that for ten years.

The silence is deafening.

It should be obvious to all, it's not going to stop, until America looks just like Mexico, with the same standard of living.

[Wiseghy]

Walk into the back of ANY restaurant in any Western State, and you'll find the same. Most of them will have convincing, though fradulent, documents that employers can not verify easily.

Company owners all feel helpless, since their competitors hire them as well. This is a widespread problem that is now very deeply rooted in our economy.

[Black Tooth]

Anything beyond that better be national defense.

In our dreams. The feds are even regulating our lawn mowers now.

[RightWhale]

True. It's like they don't know what made this country rich.

[H. Paul Pressler IV]

Law off of Wal-Mart.

It is not like they are hiring illegal aliens and sending Billions of Dollars to Red China!

[Black Tooth]

Company owners all feel helpless, since their competitors hire them as well. This is a widespread problem that is now very deeply rooted in our economy.

So deep were going to look like a third world in a few years. Some regions already do. As they leave a substandard, chaotic America behind for their children. All for the love of money and that profit margin.

[Sterco]

Go Try This, Go Ahead - I Dare You! If you have a Death Wish!



Enter Mexico illegally. Never mind immigration quotas, visas, international law, or any of that nonsense.

Once there, demand that the local government provide free medical care for you and your entire family.

Demand bilingual nurses and doctors.

Demand free bilingual local government forms, bulletins, etc. Procreate abundantly.

Deflect any criticism of this allegedly irresponsible reproductive behavior with,"It is a cultural United States thing. You would not understand, pal."

Keep your American identity strong. Fly Old Glory from your rooftop, or proudly display it in your front window or on your car bumper.

Speak only English at home and in public and insist that your children do likewise.

Demand classes on American culture in the Mexican school system.

Demand a local Mexican driver license. This will afford other legal rights and will go far to legitimize your unauthorized, illegal, presence in Mexico.

Insist that local Mexican law enforcement teach English to all its officers.

Good luck! You'll be demanding for the rest of time or soon dead. Because it will never happen.

It will not happen in Mexico or any other country in the world... Except right here. Land of the naive.

God Bless America--She needs it.

[RightWhale]

Yes, it is. Moreso every day. Hello, [Third] World!

[Havoc]

Bwhahahahahah. Where's the party of knee dragging Wal*mart worshippers and how will this be "spun".. I'm gonna laugh myself to death.

[hophead]

"Company owners all feel helpless..."

Could you imagine the outcry at a business like the restaurants you speak of if they heavily advertised that they do not use or hire "Illegal Aliens" in any aspect of their business. They do not buy from suppliers who hire "Illegal Aliens". They do not deposit their money in banks that hires "Illegal Aliens". The left would be calling for a boycott of those restaurants and businesses. So, if this scenario were true than it would also be true that by not hiring "Illegal Aliens" you may actually be BREAKING THE LAW. The "Law of the Left". This is Bizarro World.

[Sterco]

I agree!!! Use the money from the fines to further prosecute the businesses that hire illegal aliens. Start looking out for your children and your grand children. If you want them to compete with the turd world for a job just support illegal immigration. Dirt floors and three families to a house is not my idea of success. Is it yours?

[Adiemus]

From the story: "...cleaning contractors were hiring illegal immigrants..."

"NO! I can't believe those fine execs at the (great)Wal-Mart would knowing hire illegal aliens!"

They aren't. The CONTRACTORS that Wal Mart hired is. So you are blaming Wal Mart for this? Wal Mart didn't hire the illegals, the cleaning company did. The best thing for Wal Mart to do here is fire the cleaning contractor who employs the illegals, and hire one that doesn't.

[Black Tooth]

Why didn't Walmart do that in the first place?

[JRochelle]

You're right.
And anyone who hires a construction crew who have illegals working there should be fined as well.
