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.)

No business should be exempt. This is not just up to the government, this is up to us all and our first job is to elect people who will address this problem not give lip service to it, but that does not excuse businesses from obeying the law, including Wal-Mart.
