Hiring illegals is definitely illegal, and undercutting the competition like that can be construded as probably illegal or, at best, in a very, very, very dark gray area.
Gotcha on the illegals, but you can't just go after deep pocket employers. The undercutting, as long as there isn't monopolies price fixing, is not illegal. One may bemoan the loss of mom & pop places, like many of us miss the penny candy stores and soda fountains in the drug stores, but times change.
What Walmart has done to some small business, even a lot of small business, is not much different than what Walgreens/CVS has done to the sole proprietor drug stores. Or what mega food stores have done to the mom & pop grocers and butchers.
