Walmart Responds to Raid Rumors

Recently, rumors have been circulating by text message about possible immigration raids at Walmart  (for a report from one of our readers, click here). The following message, which has been forwarded to us by a reliable source, from Walmart addresses the apparently false rumors:

“These rumors about Walmart coordinating or supporting immigration raids in our stores are not true. These rumors are baseless and inaccurate. We think it’s unfortunate that such unsubstantiated rumors are spread. Walmart’s stance on immigration reform is clear, we believe reform is needed. We are committed to working with all interested parties – lawmakers, employers, and consumers – to make comprehensive reform a reality.”
