300 Illegal Workers Arrested at Wal-Marts
 
 
 Federal officials arrested more than 300 illegal workers at 61 Wal-Mart stores across the country early Thursday morning and searched the Bentonville, Ark., office of one of the retail chain's corporate executives.
 
 The workers arrested were members of cleaning crews which the company hired through a contractor. All were people in the country illegally, said a federal official on condition of anonymity.

Apparently some "Eastern Europeans" were rounded-up in this multi-million dollar tax-payer funded interstate sting operation.
 
 What?  INS couldn't find any illegal Mexicans or Central Americans to deport?  All they would have to do is check the IDs of most of the Mal-Wart customers.
 
 What's clear is this:  INS couldn't find their own assholes, even with a flashlight & a map.
