What? Where do you guys come up with this shite? Wal-Mart doesn't want to be caught paying people under the table.
Why would Exxon want illegals?
A lot of undocumented workers work in agriculture and Wal-Mart wants cheaper food.
Exxon has sub-contractors who employ undocumented workers in construction, cleaning companies, cafeterias, etc.

Illegals don't work for major corporations. Big companies don't need to and don't want to take on that liability. Most illegals work for small companies who don't need full time employees and can get away with it.

So Walmart buys the cheapest product, ergo they employ ILLEGALS! quote:

And this has to do with Exxon how? I guess I don't understand. They are SUB CONTRACTORS for a reason.
Technically, the government prints the money that is used to eventually pay these illegal immigrants, THEY SUPPORT IT TOO!!!!!

I doubt you really know what libertarianism really means.

You don't think XOM takes into account it's subcontractor costs?
Or that Walmart doesn't consider all incremental costs?

Yes, but it isn't there responsibility who the subcontractor is hiring.

They won't have to.
Illegal workers will crowd out legal ones from other jobs. This releases them into the legal job market pool, thus helping WalMart.

Texans are opposed to government intervention. Obviously the free market can fix this. If people don't like illegal immigration will simply stop shopping at places that hire illegal immigrants.

The implication was that gov is responsive to big business and XOM and walmart benefit from the cheap labor therefore gov won't act in meaningful ways to stem the flow.
I think you missed the point.

Because reality (just summing up all the other posts).

What exactly would the NG do on the border? Detain people? OK. Then what? They would have to turn them over to INS, who will simply warehouse them and/or let them go.
Yes, it would cost the state of Texas a lot of money to put the NG on the border... but... the state is spending oodles of money right now on illegal immigrants. It might be getting close to a trade off.
I think the big reason is that, for all of the posturing on the right... a significant part of the Texas economy is literarly built on the backs of illegal immigrant labor. All of the McMansions in the suburbs of Houston and Dallas are built using immigrant labor. Yeah, land is cheap, and infrastructure costs are built into the MUDs, but cheap housing is a driver of the Texas economy.
Other drivers of the Texas economy are cheap food and cheap oil and gas labor and cheap building cleaners... again... all of which are powered by illegals.

Stop shopping at Walmart. Don't hire contractors that use illegal immigrants and never eat at a restaurant again...and then prepare for higher prices.
