Firestarter 0 Report post Posted November 10, 2003 CNN story Okay, I hate Wal-Mart as much as anyone, but what the fuck? "Discrimination" against ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS is illegal? So what, are we going to start arresting UCIS officers who deport ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS because they're discriminating in favour of law-abiding immigrants and law-abiding citizens?

Guest BDC Report post Posted November 10, 2003 If you've got a distinction that has the word "illegal" in it, I think you've got something to take care of before you file lawsuits. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Metal Maniac 0 Report post Posted November 10, 2003 Reading the article, it seems that Wal-Mart is claiming that they didn't know the workers were illegal immigrants. Assuming, just for a second, that this is true, and that they did pay them less wages and such, they should be punished for that, methinks. Now, I'm not saying that they should be paying back wages to illegal immigrants, but perhaps someone should take a look into how these stores are run - if they're willing to fuck those people over, then they could easily be doing it to others. On the flip side though, there's the possibility that they DID know. That's gotta be illegal. Either way, Wal-Mart's kinda boned. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lightning Flik 0 Report post Posted November 10, 2003 Wal-Mart should counter-sue for fraud. Which would have a Public Relations nightmare as most common people would see it as "Wal-Mart: The Non-Supporter of The Little Guy". Or something similar. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
