Supreme Court declines to hear suit over illegal immigrant hiring

"The Supreme Court on Monday said it has declined to consider an appeal by a carpet and floor-covering company that was sued by its employees for hiring illegal immigrants in an alleged effort to depress wages. Mohawk Industries Inc. had sought to have the case dismissed, something lower federal courts had declined to do. The Supreme Court?s decision allows the suit to proceed in federal court."
