When all of the political B-S and smoke clear away, you will find that Wall Mart did not hire these people. They hired a cleaning company, and that company hired the illegals. They ( The Cleaning Company) should have and will be held responsible.

President Fox of Mexico is in our country as we speak and he is trying to get all border restrictions removed. Where is Pres Bus?. You are seeing the Balkanization of our Country.

The people that came to our country in the old days were Eastern European people for the most part. They came under a quota system, and they came to learn the language, and build a better life for themselves and their children.

They worked and saved, and learned the language and required their children to learn to speal English.

This is not the case with the Mexicans, they just come to get all they can including the welfare, free medical, everything else, they send a large part of their pay back to Mexico, and have no interest in learning our language or helping to make America a better place. If you doubt this go to LA and look at the conditions they have brought with them..

What's 300 illegals compared to how many we have and what's coming down the pike?

"MEXICO CITY (AP) -- A bipartisan delegation of U.S. congressmen visiting Mexico Wednesday said they expect quick passage -- perhaps as soon as December -- of a bill that would help some immigrant agricultural workers gain legal residency.

However, the delegation, which is to meet with Mexican President Vicente Fox on Friday, said broader immigration reform is still far off.

"The first (migration) legislation that could get adopted in Congress is the legislation dealing with agricultural workers, and that seems to be moving well," said Rep. Sam Farr, a Democrat from California. Referring to Mexico's hopes for more work visas in all industries and amnesty for the estimated 7 million undocumented workers currently in the United States, Farr cautioned patience.

"The rest of the agenda is going to take a little bit longer," Farr said.

U.S. House Democratic leader Rep. Nancy Pelosi said "we certainly would want to do more" in immigration reform, but noted "if we can get this piece of it passed, it would pave the way and serve as a model of how we can build confidence and build bridges."

The proposal -- known as the Berman-Cannon bill after its sponsors, Republican Chris Cannon of Utah and Democrat Howard Berman, of California -- would allow about 500,000 undocumented U.S. farmworkers to become legal residents. The bill would simplify the H2A visa program so agriculture employers can more easily hire immigrants as temporary laborers if they can't find U.S. workers.

Immigrants would be allowed to come to the United States as temporary workers for up to three years. After that they would have to return to their country of origin. Mexico has pushed for years for legalization to protect workers from abuse and exploitation."
