Email to George Sauter, Fund
Manager at the
Vanguard Group
Dear Mr. Sauter,
I'm currently an investor in
Vanguard's Index 500 fund, which currently holds over 20
million shares in Home Depot stock. Since they began
operating in Mexico, their business practices have
changed a great deal.
I'm sure you know that Home Depot
has consistently supported illegal immigration,
something that
80%+ of Americans oppose. Home Depot has
consistently supported building "day-labor
centers " (used primarily by
illegal aliens) and now they announce a future
hiring preference for
"Spanish-speaking employees!" (Does Home Depot
really think they're fooling us on these racist hiring
practices, as well as "disguised" hiring of
illegal aliens?)
I predict Home Depot will soon be
copying the practices exposed with the federal
indictment of
Tyson Chicken: recruiting illegals in Mexico who
arrive for work at US locations fully equipped with
false documents to qualify them as "legal" US employees.
As a highly paid mutual fund
manager, you probably qualify as one of the "elite"
who is shielded from the problems of illegal
immigration. I hope you're not an "elitist," but instead
an American who wants to prevent the continued
destruction of the USA by illegal immigration.
I ask that you and other Vanguard
officials use the company's influence with Home Depot's
Board of Directors by urging them to abandon their
current business practices on their hiring of illegal
aliens and abandon all their support of illegal
immigration (including but not limited to supporting day
labor centers). .
Very truly yours,
S. J. Miller
