They put such a price squeeze on their suppliers that the suppliers have to cut corners to keep Walmart's business. It becomes a function of how little the suppliers can invest in production, not where the goods come from. There's a documentary out there called "The High Cost of Low Prices" that does a nice job summing this up. I also second the PBS Frontline bit.
