Thread: Toys 'R' Us criticized for denying New Year baby prize over

I feared they would cave. I am sending my email too.

my comments

i have recently been made aware of your 25,000 scholarship program you had to the first born baby. I must now take exception with you awarding it to the child of someone who is in the USA illegally. This alone makes me mad. as someone who is against illegals coming into my country, taking it over, demanding services only meant for legal US citizens is WRONG. to award anyone, like you have done in this contest is also wrong. If your contest says the parent(s) must be legal US citizens then you have the right to deny this chinese student the winnings. Unless you revert to the first decision and not award the winnings, Myself and others will not shop at your stores again. and your name will be places on a websight for boycott purposes for anyone who doesnt like lawbreakers like this mother

The third baby in the running was born in Bay Shore, N.Y., to a couple from El Salvador.

Are these people legal? If not, then that would make 2-3 born to illegal parents!

The part about legal residents must be a rule that is set out by the federal government. Even radio stations contests have those rules. Personally I think that it is due to the taxes that must be paid on the prize. Tomorrow I am going to call the local radio station and ask them about it.
This just may be another example of our federal laws being broken by illegals.

Thanks for the link Dixie, I knew they would cave also.

I told them I would be boycotting them also and to check out the stock slide from the Miller Beer boycott that came about from them sponsoring the marches of illegal aliens this summer.

Illegal alien's should never win out over legal citizens in America, especially when the rules state they are not eligible.
