Perkins should also be prosecuted for hiring an illegal worker.

“accused her boss of making sexually suggestive remarks, touching her and showing up unannounced at her house.”

Other than the touching, how is what she is alleging here different than what she perpetrated by being here illegally? If she was so uncomfortable with him showing up at her house uninvited, she should be able to understand how her illegal status makes Americans uncomfortable.

her boss, Mario Centeno, showing up at her home for her child’s baptism.

I can’t imagine how he could “show up” for this anchor-baby occasion without her having told him about it in the first place

Yes, U.S. District Judge John Tunheim is a corrupt Clinton scumbag, appointed in 1995.

Legitimate ruling, IMO, though he should be charged with hiring illegals and she should be deported.

Once he hired her he took on the responsibilities of an employer, and this sounds like something that was considered "sexual harrasment" even before the anti-Thomas lobby twisted the definition around.

I agree with this ruling. This woman may be here illegally, but that doesn’t mean someone perpetrating a crime against her (allegedly sexual harassment) should be able to get away with it. Along with facing sexual harassment charges, her employer should also face charges for hiring undocumented workers.

If she were not here to begin with none of this would have happened. She needs to be deported and her employer should be fined/jailed according to law for any injury and for the illegal hiring.

Probably the right ruling. Entering as an illegal alien is a misdemeanor (assuming you hadn't been previously deported), 8 U.S.C. 1325. Even so, misdemeanors don't forfeit one's right to be treated with dignity. The worst thing we could do to illegal aliens is give people carte blanche to take advantage of them by barring aliens from using our courts.

The punishment for being an illegal alien is deportation, a fine, and maybe prison. Letting private citizens sexually harass and humiliate them isn't an authorized punishment for being an illegal alien.

This is an example of the worst thing about illegal immigration - their illegal status renders them easily taken advantage of, since they're hesitant to ask for government intervention. The best thing we could do - for them - is tighten our borders, but make it easier to come across legally.

Prosecute him; then deport her.

Won’t SOMEONE please help this poor harassed woman “come out of the shadows?”

Oh...what?
