Wal-Mart Stores Inc, Target Corp and PepsiCo Inc on Wednesday joined an expanded group of nearly 800 companies calling in a letter for U.S. legislation to protect immigrants brought into the country illegally by their parents from deportation, according to organizer FWD.us.

A group of businesses less than half the size and weighted toward technology companies sent a similar letter in August, before President Donald Trump said he would end the program.

Both letters were spearheaded by FWD.us, a pro-immigration group co-founded by Facebook Inc Chief Executive Mark Zuckerberg.

We are losing our Republic.

Dreamers are most of WalMarts customers.

It might already be gone.

The money you make for Zuckerberg every time you log into Fecebook pays for this.

Any body know any of the other 800?

[yuleeyahoo]

I call for legislation to protect the children of people who steal from large corporations. They should be allowed to keep fruits of their parents labor. After all, it is not like they broke the law.

[faithhopecharity]

it used to be that corporate managers spent most of their energy building up their companies and profits for their owners, shareholders

i guess that concept is passe now?

[faithhopecharity]

we don’t patronize Target(since they let dirty old men into their little girls’ rooms)

but we do patronize Walmart some.

we will now write Walmart a letter how disappointed we are, as its customers, that its managers have time to do political advocacy like this...while their stores fall apart and their website works like it was designed by a remedial school dropout

“We want cringing, cheap employees walking on legal eggshells to sell shoddy gimcrack and trinkets from China to maximize our profits. And we want you to think of us as really DIGNIFIED for doing that.”

Do any of the 800 know that under DACA as authored in Obama’s executive writ, there is NO requirement that a “young undocumented immigrant” had to be brought into the country by their parent(s); they could have merely, illegally, entered the country on their own? I doubt it.

Walmart getting food stamp money from illegals.

[CincyRichieRich]

Wal-Mart sure has come a long way, baby.

Unrecognizable from 20 yrs ago. Must be run by a bunch of neocon socialists now.

[magna carta]

They need more bodies

[SanchoP]

There is nothing new under the sun. The endless demand for slave labor brought down the Roman Empire and history is repeating itself in America today.

[ealgeone]

Walmart hates to see the ebt crowd leave.

[SmokingJoe]

Groan. The cheap labor express, Chamber of Commerce, America last cartel strikes again. These are the only people their boy Paul Ryan takes orders from, on bended knee no less.

Isn't Target supposed to be out there letting in some transgendered pervert into the same bathroom as little girls?
