The tide is turning, as many corporations are now responding to the changing legal landscape surrounding hiring illegal aliens.
From the New York Post: Walmart has begun laying off employees at some of its Florida stores after a recent Supreme Court ruling allowed the Trump administration to revoke legal protections previously extended to hundreds of thousands of migrants.
The company has informed staff in at least two locations that continued employment is contingent on obtaining valid work authorization, individuals familiar with the matter told Bloomberg News.
The layoffs stem from the expiration of temporary legal residency status, affecting workers who had previously been permitted to live and work in the US under programs established during the Biden administration.
These terminations are tied to compliance with federal I-9 forms, which employers must use to verify both the identity and employment authorization of their workers.
Walmart has not provided any data on how many illegal alien workers it has employed at its 4,600 stores nationwide.
The report also notes that the Walt Disney Company has confirmed it laid off 45 employees, citing federal immigration laws, but have not officially fired them yet. The employees are Venezuelan nationals who had been granted Temporary Protected Status. Disney said the laid-off Venezuelans will continue to receive benefits while on leave.
