It’s against federal law to knowingly hire, or to continue to employ an illegal alien. With this admission, he has implicated his employer - the Washington Post - in at least one federal crime, and perhaps several federal crime.

I wonder if they’ll be an investigation and prosecution? /sarcasm

Can we trade him for Santa Klause or Mr Potato Head?

Sooooooooooooo, you are saying it is Bush’s fault????

“Evidently the Secret Service never bothered to verify the false ssno provided by this illegal alien reporter.”

Because checking would have been racist as he has skin of color.

If there ever were a more deserving candidate to go to the back of the line please show me.

Wa Po [or at least Peter Perl] was in violation of the law.

From the Immigration Reform Control Act of 1986 [IRCA]:

UNLAWFUL EMPLOYMENT OF ALIENS

SEC. 274A. (a) "8 USC 1324a" MAKING EMPLOYMENT OF UNAUTHORIZED ALIENS UNLAWFUL. --
