Bull hockey. It's not Wal-Mart - it's Washington that is causing the wage discrepancy.

People complain about Big Oil gouging us on gasoline, when its the government taking 50 cents off the top of every gallon, compared to Big Oils 10 cents.

Similarly people complain of Big Business gouging illegal immigrant workers for low wages, when its a socialist government (Big Government) that's creating the larger proprotion of wage difference between illegals and citizens, through payroll taxes for Income, Medicare, Social Security, Minimum Wages, Disability insurance, insurance liability, and labor protection laws.

The biggest difference in cost to an employer between an illegal and a citizen is mandated by the leftist greed, not business greed.

No argument there but a cost is a cost is a cost.

I'm surprised that Boortz did not bring up the Fair Tax as a means of reducing the discrepancy (and the flood of illegals).
