CONS support AZ Law yet...
...still continue to shop at Wal Mart:

Wal-Mart pays $11M over illegal labor
No criminal sanctions, but retailer will pay $11M in case tied to cleaning contractors' hirings.

SNIP

At the time of the raids, the government said they had wiretaps showing that Wal-Mart executives knew the company was using illegal workers.

And, no doubt, grab day labor help from Home Depot parking lots.
Come to think of it...why do I never see Border Patrol at Home Depot parking lots here in SoCal?

3. And their enablers maske them believe they can. If we ever wake up from the nightmare
they've created for us--I think the con voters are gonna hurt more than we will. They can't deal with reality.

2. Do Cons know how immersed in the undoc'ed worker market they are?
Their homes, businesses, places they shop--they all benefit.

And I can tell you--they honestly are unaware of it. I've discussed this with local (Phoenix) golfers; how much their greens fees would rise without undoc'ed workers. They don't believe me (or don't want to).

4. Disgusting! Why do you do wiretaps if you aren't going to use them?
Edited on Sun Jun-06-10 09:54 PM by TiredOldMan
Putting a few executives in jail is really what will stop this kind of exploitation.

7. These anti-immigrant types...
Would probably be the first people to start whining if they couldn't get cheap salad.
