No. Because large amounts of WalMart product is manufactured in Asia.
My stepfamily, as I think you know, is Cambodian. When I visited, in 2002, my cousin was earning $1 a day in a factory. In order for her to be able to take a family trip with us to Angkor Wat, I had to bribe the factory foreman $4 per day so that he wouldn't fire her for the four days she was gone.
That was almost 12 years ago. In 2014, she's lucky she wasn't one of the workers manufacturing product for Wal Mart who were shot by police:
