Only in America 


Give them a visa! Proving how American they've become, nine of the illegal immigrants caught working at Wal-Mart are suing the company:

The nine say they were paid lower wages and offered fewer benefit because they are Mexicans, and they accuse Wal-Mart and its cleaning contractors of failing to pay for overtime, withhold taxes or make required workers' compensation contributions.

Their lawsuit, filed Wednesday in Superior Court (search) in Freehold, seeks more than $200,000 in back pay.
Is this a great country or what?

On the one hand, these people did the work and should be paid accordingly, and I really don't have sympathy for a company that hires illegal immigrants. On the other, these people are illegal immigrants. So how about we let them win the lawsuit and then send them on their merry way back to Mexico?
