BISMARCK, North Dakota -- Wal-Mart Stores Inc. says it voluntarily shut down work Monday on all seven stores under construction in North Dakota to check for illegal aliens.
"We wanted to be sure contractors are in compliance with applicable laws," said Marty Heires, a spokesman at Wal-Mart's corporate headquarters in Bentonville, Ark. "We were not asked by law enforcement or any government agency to do this."
