Did Lou slap him back with "Illegal immigrants keep the wages for those jobs low"?

That, right there, is the problem. Look at the floor crews Wal-Mart was using. The subcontractors were hiring illegals, thus allowing them to under-bid the jobs. If they had hired people legally allowed to work, they would have had to pay higher wages and therefore they would not have been able to come in so low on the bids.

Every job that goes to an illegal not only takes a job away from someone else who is legally allowed to work, but it keeps wages low for those who do take those jobs regardless of status.
