My own personal observations is that far too many Americans choose to be a recipient of welfare INSTEAD of doing low paying manual labor. I certainly don't fault illegal immigrants...I fault the lazy ass Americans that choose not to do hard work and earn they own way! I totally disagree with Jewish Lawyer.

Right now you are paying an American to sit on his/her ass and not paying taxes while s/he burdens social services with his/her needs (educating his/her children, healthcare, unemployment insurance, food stamps, etc.). Originally Posted by I B Hankering

Low pay, no benefits, less than full time employees. Right now in a number of states Wal-Mart employees are the largest single group receiving social services. Add to the fact that Wal-Mart frequently receives tax breaks for locating, plus the fact that Wal-Mart in smaller communities kills off the local eco-system of small businesses.

Check your history, BL, 19th century labor movements, e.g., Samuel Gompers, etc., lobbied for very restrictive immigration policies to prevent the impoverished wages associated with the surfeit of labor. You, BL, cannot legitimately claim you support the interests of low wage earning citizens in the U.S. and simultaneously champion unrestricted immigration policies.

Mint juleps on the veranda? Stereotype much?

Ground zero for exploiting illegal aliens is California - where they pick the fruits and veggies.

I don't think they sip too many mint juleps in California. Or sit on verandas.

Read about it here.

From the article:

"In state after state, the largest group of Medicaid recipients is Walmart employees. I'm sure that the same thing is true of food stamp recipients. Each Walmart ‘associate’ costs the taxpayers an average of more than $1,000 in public assistance," Grayson wrote in a Huffington Post column on Nov. 24, 2012.

Turns out there was no such things as "illegal" immigration unless you were Chinese or from an "undesirable" race or country.

There have been several suits about Walmart forcing workers to work overtime and not paying, as well as engaging in illegal bribery in foreign countries among other allegations about the way they do business unethically or illegally. I try not to do business with Walmart myself, but they do have the best prices on oil and bullets! Any organization that large is going to have lapses and I do have to credit them with responding to trends in the market and the law courts by addressing these concerns in most cases and even starting initiatives for lessening their dependence on Chinese goods, building eco friendly stores and carrying organic produce to name a few.
