Meg Whitman, the Republican candidate for Governor of California, is accused of knowingly employing an illegal immigrant for 9 years. Then, when the maid, Miss Diaz, asked for help with her illegal immigrant status and a lawyer, Miss Whitman "threw her away like a piece of garbage." Or so Diaz says. She also claimed that Miss Whitman told her: "You don't know me, I have never seen you and you have never seen me. Do you understand?"
The Social Security Administration sent a letter asking her to explain why her housekeeper’s social security number didn’t match the name on file. but Miss Whitman denies ever recieving such letter. :dontknow: sounds kinda fishy to me
You know, after nine years of working for someone, you would think they're would be some kind of relationship built between the two. Regardless if she was illegal or not. Seems kinda heartless. I don't believe employing illegal immigrants is right, by any means (whether she knew it or not). I think illegals should come about it the right way.
but what are your thoughts?
Do you think Miss Whitman really knew she was illegal, and is now trying to cover it up because of her candidacy?
Do you think she should have helped her out, seeing as how she's the 4th wealthiest person in the state of Cali?
Or could the maid have taken the mail, to hide the letter from her boss? :dontknow:

I think Meg Whitman is too smart to employ an illegal, knowing that she is running for a political office and her whole lfe story will be out there for everyone to critique

It is seen so often in politics...this is the way things should be, but that doesn't apply to me. Many of the Tea Party supporters in my state want to cut out all welfare programs but boast of being on Medicaid. One of the Tea Party candidates in my state wants to cut funding for Medicaid/Medicare and Education, but when it was threatened that the Medicaid and Medicare payments to his medical office would be cut, he balked at the idea because "doctors should be able to make a considerable income."
So, it wouldn't surprise me in the least that this woman is another hypocrite. It would be cheaper for her to employ an illegal immigrant, and now that she's come under fire for it, it is easier to feign ignorance.
