New The primary focus was
that they were illegal aliens doing the work AND that high ups at Wal-Mart KNEW that they were using illegal immigrants, which is against the law by the way, yet they didn't give a damn as long as it didn't take money away from them.

For the record, my ancestors came through Ellis Island, busted their asses, built their fortunes, raised families, etc. As Orion pointed out, THEY DID IT LEGALLY. Come in through the proper channels, I can't raise a beef.

As far as PHBs farming out jobs to India, that has nothing to do with me being a "ethnocentric bastard".

New They were breaking the law
Wal-Mart and the contracting companies they paid to clean the stores were breaking the law by hiring illegal immigrants to do the work. The higher-ups at Wal-Mart knew about it, knew about the laws, but allowed it to happen anyway.

My acestors came over to this country legally too, busted their asses, worked to get what they got. One side came from Ireland, the other from Germany. They filled out the paperwork needed, became US Citizens, and raised family here.

I don't feel sorry for illegal immigrants who got busted and sent back home, they broke the law and tried to cheat the system, that makes them criminals. Wal-Mart and their contracting companies also broke the law and that makes them criminals.
