WAL-MART WILL LOOK AT ALL THEIR EMPLOYEES - Illegal Aliens Arrested In 21 States

(10/27/2003)

Wal-Mart Stores have announced they will examine all of its employees and instantly fire workers found to be in the country illegally. The announcement came after federal officers arrested 245 employees at stores in 21 states, including West Virginia. Four illegal aliens were arrested at a Parkersburg Store. Wal-Mart initially defended their operation relying on contract workers, saying they were unaware of illegal aliens, but investigators say they gathered recordings from wiretaps that indicate Wal-Mart executives knew the company's subcontractors used illegal workers. Those arrested last week came from 18 different nations, including 90 from Mexico, 35 from the Czech Republic, 22 from Mongolia and 20 from Brazil.
