Slavery. I don’t care what they about: it’s the Mexican custom to work these teenagers for free. Is there no end to Wal-Mart’s lust for profits. I had this argument with a dear, dear colleague of mine (you know who you are, Beefcake). I understand, and he so ardently reminded me, corporations exist to make profits. I don’t disagree. I mean it’s a law they have to make profits or they should dissolve. But how much profit is enough. A higher profit margin for Wal-Mart is an insatiable desire. I mean, it’s like a crackhead looking for a rock. How much is enough? Maybe if Wal-Mart paid a decent wage to the thousands of teenagers bagging groceries in Mexico FOR FREE, they won’t be trying to cross the Texas-Mexican border into this country to be our nannies and gardeners. I’m just saying. Greedy, greedy. Oh, and one more thing. Sending all our manufacturing jobs to

Ok, so now Wal-Mart is to blame for people entering this country illegally? Urg!
Why is it so un-PC to blame the truly guilty party (those actually acting in a manner which is inconsistent with the law)? These days, everyone else is blamed for criminals' actions - apparently even a whole corporation!?! People who enter this country illegally are breaking the law, plain and simple. Most have an understandable & sympathetic excuse (better jobs, better life, etc.). But, there are American citizens who break the law everyday with understandable & sympathetic excuses. Drug addition, hungry children, and the like are all commonly cited as justifications for acting illegally. You and I hear it everyday. Do you personally, as a prosecutor, say, "Oh, that is all right. Let's just dismiss your case." NO! You don't ~ and shouldn't. Why do illegal immigrants get more sympathy and consideration that American citizens? And now, their crimes excused because of Wal-Mart! Ridiculous!
Ok, I know this went a little outside the realm of your actual post, but I am sick to death of this crap! I still have much love for you, though!
