This is rich.

The same d-bags who call you a racist for cracking down on employers who hire illegals are bagging on Whitman for employing an illegal.

We already know the illegal forged her documents and the way I understood it yesterday she had also gone through the mail and removed anything that might have questioned her status.

Considering her proven forging abilities and her sticky fingers, why would anyone believe a word she said?

The few Californians that I suspect who hire illegals do it for one reason: to save a few bucks.

It’s laughable to conclude that Whitman did it intentionally, given how much she paid this person from a legit agency. Sounds like she didn’t spend a lot of time on it.

So please explain, what was her motive?

“She’s employed by the agency, it is the agency’s legal responsibility”

If that’s true then why hasn’t Whitman mentioned it? Whitman isn’t exactly taking command of this situation.

I’m sorry, but if Whitman knowingly employed an illegal all those years it is inexcusable. I’m tired of being let down and embarrassed by damned fools!

All for the best. Whitman is a liberal. Liberal Republicans diminish the brand image. And it will be easier for the Congress to tell the State “no” when they come for a bailout, if the guys who are asking are the guys who caused the problem.

I’ve got news for you: Southern California has already been ceded to Mexico.

Good question. My understanding is the maid is employed by the agency. And I think based on what I have heard that is probably a good bet. As to why she isn't taking command, the answer is obvious. She's a dumb ass Republican.

Since when do Republicans take command when Dems make up stuff from whole cloth and smear them? They are not called the Party of Stupid for no reason.

Whitman’s husband responds here-http://tmz.vo.llnwd.net/o28/newsdesk/tmz_documents/0930_harsh.pdf
It was seven years ago and he doesn’t remember getting the letter.
Since he thought the maid was legal,
he assumed it was a problem with Social Security benefits and told the maid to check into it.

” It is important to note what this letter actually says: ‘this letter makes no statement about your employee’s immigration status.’ “
“The facts of this matter are very clear: Ms. Diaz broke the law and lied to us and to the employment agency.
When she confessed her deception to us last year, we ended her employment immediately. Meg and I played by the rules and followed the law.
Ms. Diaz did not. “

Over at NRO they say this is routinely part of No Match letters:

” You should not use this letter to take any adverse action against an employee just because his or her Social Security
number appears on the list, such as laying off, suspending, firing , or discriminating against the individual.
Doing so could, in fact, violate state or federal law and subject you to legal consequences.”

No, she doesn’t have the goods - he asked her to look into what was needed for the info - and she kept it instead.

If she wasn’t planning to hold this over their head at some point, she would have destroyed the paperwork - not kept it.

quite often, you hire from an employment agency after someone has been employed anywhere from 30 days to 6 months depends on the contract with the agency.

After you hire a temp as your own employee though you still have to fill out forms for the IRS, and INS (or ICE now I think).

Sounds like she did her part, and something fell through the cracks when the SSA notified that they wanted more information.

Anytime I received one of those letters, it wasn’t the only one though...which makes me wonder if the employee did in fact turn in some kind of paperwork and the problem went away. I mean, she signed documents under perjury that she was able to work legally, why wouldn’t she cover her own back end if given the opportunity?

(and No, I’m not a meg supporter, I’ll hold my nose as I vote for her....anyone but Brown!)

“please a ap yahoo hit piece .

AP is the worst of the worst. If they ever organize a mass protest against the AP I’ll be there.

Yes, a clue indeed.

Like a clue that the term is RINO --all caps; no quotes-- and not "rhino".

There ya go. A free clue of your own.

nannies. resumes. what's next? gee the government/media complex is desperate. only thing is, i think they are shooting their wad too early. but that is fine with me. Tea Parties will come to the rescue in DROVES, both at the polls and manning election day efforts through GOTV nationwide.

As it is Dems, will have to pay inner city destitutes by the hour to round up voters. Or have dead people vote. One way or the other.
