Give Me A Break!

This story about illegal immigrants coming to the U.S. to make more than 10 times the wage they made in their country, and then complaining about the long hours and brutal conditions they were forced to work under has me rolling on the floor!

Why WalMart is being targeted is beyond me. It sounds like it's the greed factor. WalMart is the big fish and somebody, someplace thinks they are entitled to some and want to cash in.

There has to be a lawyer (or group thereof) behind this............

Perhaps the illegals have forgotten where they came from. I know the poverty they have had to live in and the long hours of work they have to endure in their own countries. Countries that do not offer breaks, workman's comp, health benefits and no laws governing how long an employer can work an employee. Countries where there is no minimum wage law, and safety/health organizations to oversee safe working conditions. That's not to mention the various organizations that will help feed and clothe their families for free like the Salvation Army and Goodwill, to name only two. Last I heard they don't care if you have a green card or not.

I normally don't get too worked up over things like this, but I am sick of hearing people complaining when they don't have a leg to stand on.  They are in this country illegally, for God's sake!  We should be complaining that they broke our laws by entering illegally!  This reminds me of the burglar who breaks his leg while robbing someone's home and then turns around and sues the homeowner.  Kind of ironic, huh? 

How would any of us be treated if we entered their countries illegally?  I think we all know the answer to that.  

Perhaps those that finds it distasteful working and living here under conditions that are unsatisfactory should just leave. They came on their own free will (illegally) and certainly they may leave that way too.  It is a free county, afterall.
