I got out of advertising long ago when I became disillusioned at telling lies covered in beauty and convincing the unsuspecting of illusion.

Companies that rarely cater to the illegal population is Harris-Teeter and Kroger,Home Depot,and sometimes Target. I know that caters to them over at K-Mart where they get to the blue light specials before anyone else do. Target rarely caters to the needs for the hispanic community since you rarely see a few that shop in there. But Wal-Mart and K-Mart get colossal business from hispanic customers and other ethnic groups during the weekends when sales figures explode.

Given the relative deprivation and sheer size of the Chinese economy, it will take decades for that to happen. - HB

I don't dispute the truth of this. It's ironic really...(I intended to put a grimace beside that previous post) The people who want to protect American jobs now are the same free-market people who have been major enablers of the torrent of cheap goods from China - through (not just) the WalMart pipeline, but other big box retailers like Target and clothing stores like TJ Maxx. HUGE purchasers of Chinese offerings.

Have you ever noticed that you rarely see only a few illegal aliens shopping over in fancier grocery stores like Harris-Teeter or Kroger or maybe gourmet stores like Whole Foods and Fresh Market? There is a lot of them that shop Food Lion and Lowes Foods and Piggly Wiggly which caters to the hispanic community and carries a lot of hispanic products and other ethnic items that you won't see in other stores. Harris-Teeter rarely carries any ethnic products and that is in some of their stores,I oughta know cause I worked for them during your 18 years of employment with the company. They also if you noticed during the Christmas rush they've clean out K-Mart and Wal-Mart like its nothing,especially when all the good stuff that is on sale,they get to it before you and I do.

Bank Of America is also a big time caterer of Illegals. As well as Walmart, Lowes Home Improvement and Home Depot as stated in this blog. Also I have noticed Food Lion becoming very friendly toward the ILLEGAL Population as well.Press 1 if you want this in english 2 for spanish.

I have never really been a fan of Wal-Mart's! Usually, they come to town and close all the little shops and run prices up because they have no competition. I'm all for everyone making money. But, not close up the smaller stores that are the foundation of a small area. I may go to a Walmart maybe 2 or 3 times a year. Not more than that. Save money? On what? IF you have to replace something several times, where's the savings? Live better? Are they suppose to be an upgrade from Green Acres? Give me Green Acres and Kmart with Martha Stewart! I can't think of a single item that I have replaced with the Martha Stewart logo on it. I've been shopping Martha Stewart for years at Kmart. Now, if Wal-Mart would carry Martha Stewart offerings that would really get me to think about going there.

"People will always vote with their wallets...as China's economy expands, however, their wages will climb and eventually their goods will no longer be such a bargain. Perhaps then we can whittle down their huge trade-surplus with us." -mentor

Given the relative deprivation and sheer size of the Chinese economy, it will take decades for that to happen. Couple that time, with their ravenous demand for natural resources (i.e. oil) and we will bear witness to the largest decline in standard of living America has ever had. Make no mistake, this is a lifestyle altering course of events.

The good news is that at least Walmart will provide us with clothes when we are third world savages. ------>

"Another company that caters to the illegal alien population is Lowe's."

Catering to the green on their bills, not the ethnic group.

Nice logo - "Save Money" - I do by avoiding the place. "Live Better" - I do again by not dealing with the stress associated with poor quality/incompetence that prevails in those stores. Overlay the Target logo and that would make a great Wal-Mart logo.

Don't forget your Home Depot. I have seen more illegals in there during a Christmas Sale than I ever have seen in Walmart.
