"Home Depot proudly supports racist, anti-American organizations and openly aids and abets illegal aliens, a violation of federal law.
Home Depot recently announced a partnership with the National Council of La Raza. NCLR is a racist organization dedicated to promoting open borders and illegal immigration. Arthur Blank, the co-founder of the company openly funds and supports the anti-American Mexican American Legal Defense and Education Fund. This organization actively seeks to subvert American laws on behalf of illegal aliens.
Home Depot flagrantly supports, endorses and encourages the establishment of various day labor centers on their premises throughout this nation. Over 90% of all day laborers entered this country illegally. However, in pursuit of the almighty dollar, Home Depot criminally violates federal laws prohibiting the aiding and abetting of illegal aliens.
Activists involved in La Raza (the Tan Klan) and MALDEF all run in the same racist and separatist circles, with the ultimate goal being the "reconquista" of the Southwestern United States.
Home Depot must be punished for its support of and association with racist and anti-American organizations.

It ought to be named "Home Depot SA".
Bush should applaud them for this according to "Public Citizen". Home Depot is a big campaign contributor.
Bush Stops at Home Depot as Reward to Generous GOP Donor
President Bush made two stops in Maryland on Friday. First came a big-ticket fundraiser in Baltimore. Then he delivered a speech on the economy to workers at a Home Depot in nearby Halethorpe.
Bush's appearance at the home improvement store baffled locals. On Wednesday, The Sun in Baltimore headlined a story on the upcoming visit to the town in southwest Baltimore County. Titled "A Presidential Mystery."
Research by Public Citizen suggests the president's visit is a way to reward the nation's second-largest retailer for its generosity to the Bush campaign and the Republican Party. Home Depot employees and their families have given $1.5 million to the GOP since 1999. During that time, no candidate has benefited from Home Depot's largesse more than Bush.

I wonder if Lowell's is subsidizing any of this nonsense. As a general rule I stay out of places like Home Depot and Wal-Mart [COLOR=Red]Chi-Mart.[/COLOR] I'd rather go to a lumber yard for materials and tools.

Gabrielle,
Yes that is sickening. Sadly most big corporations are very much like this one. I am getting sick of all these "day labors" standing everywhere.

I read on another forum where somebody went to China Depot and went all through the store putting things in his cart and then he left without buying anything. What an awful thing to do, hehehe.

OSH (Orchard Supply Hardware) seems to be a much more friendlier place, with more available and knowledgable (and white) help. Middle- to older-aged white guys are the only people with the right attitude and knowledge to work at hardware stores.
