Although Rubbermaid may not hire illegals, most of their products are made in Mexico.

globalization benefits corporations. walmart is one of the many. its ignorant to pick one and attack them, especially by going to target instead. if you truly support the anti-corporate ideal, ONLY shop at mom & pop places. and if you need a good that isnt available outside of a corporation (ie automobile), dont buy it at all. see where your stance truly is before you go bashing a sole corporation. its put up or shut up. sadly, most people are doing neither.

That is not necessarily true. While I advocate shopping used or at mom and pop shops if everyone concentrates on one and others see Wal-Mart’s profits going down, they may wonder if they are next.

Besides there are so many reasons to bash Wal-Mart.

im no fan of walmart either. but im not going to advocate singling them out. we have created a society where the populace is reliant on corporate product. under those circumstances, you cant hate on a company for being successful.

Basic economics dictates that employers will have to use cheaper illegal labor if all or a significant fraction of their competitors are using it.


You cannot boycott just one store, because more than likely their competitor is also hiring illegals.

It is basically the same as outsourcing to india or china.

People can do whatever they want to do and if the majority that supports boycotting a store, why not Wal-Mart? Let the illegal immigrants shop there.

i think he was being rhetorical. you, on the other hand, are showing signs of prejudice.
