This has nothing to do with illegal immigrants and everything to do with giving jobs to foreign workers. So long as there is at least .00001% unemployment, jobs should not be outsourced to foreign workers.

It kills me how they think American truckers cant wait to get into the mexican trucking market, I would rather truck in Iraq at least there you have armed escort.

You wouldn't know it by the amount of people we have packed in there every day. I have news for you, don't blame Wal-Mart for wanting cheaper items. If you want somebody to blame, blame all your neighbors and yourself. We only provided what the market wanted. As for low wages, the store I worked at has one of the highest starting payrates of any employer in town. Even the local manufacturing plants don't pay as well. Put that in your pipe and smoke it.

I know some of the answers. When I was in EMS in Vegas, I transported quite a few Walmart employees from the stores they worked in. They had nothing but BAD to say about pay, benefits, etc. They said Walmart provides terrible health benefits that will cost you an arm and a leg if you used it, as the co-pays and deductables were too high. I for one never "asked" for low priced junk that falls apart quickly. My family shops at other stores who are just as competitive, such as Target, Best Buy, etc. The employees are friendlier, paid better and have better quality merchandise. Walmart store are dirty, cluttered and full of junk that doesn't last.

FWIW, I know plenty of people who worked for Target and Best Buy who wouldn't recommend them as an employer to their worst enemy.
