A Walmart employee has been captured with four illegal immigrants who were found in the back of a Wal-Mart truck, and the driver and two alleged accomplices were accused of trying to smuggle them through a Border Patrol checkpoint. Sources say this is not his first time committing this crime and is suspected of at least 6 other recent smuggling trips while working for Walmart.
Documents filed in federal court Monday allege that Hernandez, 50, unloaded a delivery at a Wal-Mart in McAllen, then stopped at a truck stop in nearby Edinburg where he picked up the four immigrants.
Authorities said Leonor Gomez, 29, and her mother, Santos Gomez Moreno, had brought the immigrants to that meeting point in their van.
The two women followed the Wal-Mart truck north, planning to transfer the immigrants back to the van after they all cleared the Border Patrol checkpoint, authorities said in court documents.
Walmart spokesman Don Fogleman said the employee has not been fired but is suspended without pay.
This is not a first for Walmart. The company has previously hired illegal aliens and outsourced work to companies that they knew hired illegal aliens.
