A former housekeeper for Meg Whitman was "emotionally and financially abused'' during her nine years of employment, an attorney alleged today, adding that the Republican gubernatorial candidate knew the woman was an illegal immigrant.

This was brought to light yesterday at a press conference by sometime lawyer/fulltime media whore gloria allred. It is interesting to note the timing of this "revelation" when allred is a big jerry brown supporter.
Whitman's reply is that she hired this worker thru an agency who supposedly vetted the individual, supplied Whitman with copies of her SSN card, a copy of a valid California's driver's license and immigration paperwork filled out by the worker. When this worker told Whitman last year that she was illegal and asked Whitman to help her become legal, Whitman terminated her employment.
allred supposedly has proof that the SS office sent letters to Whitman asking her to clear up discrepancies in the SSN that she is reporting on the illegal’s 1099 form.
A few questions I have:
If Whitman knew this individual was an illegal alien, why would she file paperwork (form 1099) with the IRS insead of paying her under the table?
This illegal alien has come forward and admitted that she is here illegally, has admitted to falsifying documentation to obtain employment in this country. Why isn’t this illegal in custody pending prosecution for perjury for falsifying information on federal forms and for being in the country illegally?
Why is this suddenly coming to light right now, 1 month before the election?
I am not convinced that Whitman is the right person for the job of governor of California, but I an totally turned off by this cheap political stunt to discredit her right before the election when it seems like she unknowingly employed an illegal alien who presented herself as a legal citizen. I could never bring myself to vote for brown who is a hack for the unions and was considering not voting for Whitman because of my concerns for her qualifications and motivations for wanting the job, but after seeing this cheap attempt to discredit Whitman, I have decided to cast my vote for her.
-
Will the alien be deported now that we know her name and whereabouts or is this faux rage from teh left?

Considering the alternative is the return of Governor Moonbeam? Not even a hesitation.
BTW--what would you have done differently in Whitman's position?
-

She has been talking out of both sides of her mouth in her campaign. To the legal citizens she tries to come across as tough on immigration violators, yet on her spanish language ads to the spanish speaking market, she comes across with a different message.
I was going to pass on voting for anyone in the governor's race, but in light of this sleazy tactic against her she will be getting my vote. In fact I will be sending allred a thank you note for helping me to decide on who to place my vote for and it is not the candidate she endorses.

It is a political stunt, just as Bob Woodward's recent book is a political stunt.
Looks to me like Whitman did what she was supposed to have done. She can't be held responsible for an illegal who presents bogus documents, lies on federal forms, and scuttles through the vetting process.
If I were a politician, I'd make damn sure that I hire NO foreign national in any way, shape or form. Is that discriminating? You bet your ass it is. But if I'm going to be held responsible for this kind of crap via cheap political stunts, I'm going to be hiring Suzy Homemaker, not Juanita Martinez to sweep and mop my floors.

Gloria Allred is such a bitch. The agency was the one that hired the illegal and contracted her out to Meg, it's their responsibility to screen their own employees. Two Mexicans just delivered a refridgerator to my house and I'm not sure if they were legal, probably not. Yep, deparation on the part of the moonbeam rays - I'm no big Meg Whitman fan and she will be Ahhhhhhnold's third term, but anybody but Jerrry Brown or his relatives.

Very true Tess. That's all you needed to write. :hi5: :cheersmate:

The unions are pumping big bucks into this with ads in English and Spanish. I find myself wondering if this will blow back on them. Just a little too co-ordinated, a little too dirty for even the most stalwart of the party?? Naw what am I thinking. :thatsright:

The owners of Town & Country Resources tell TMZ that when Diaz Santillan filled out the standard candidate questionnaire, she "indicated she was legally able to work in the United States" ... even though Nicky knew she was in the country illegally.
TMZ (http://www.tmz.com/2010/09/30/meg-whitman-nicky-diaz-santillan-town-and-country-resources-undocumented-worker-gloria-allred/6/)
This case should be booted out of court.

Allred was on Mark Levin's show tonight. I am listening to the full show now and haven't heard the interview yet but here is a direct link to it:

Greta is a fine attorney in her own right. She knows what she's talking about. Allred doesn't have a case and Greta knows it.

Problem is, both of them (and most of us) know she doesn't have a case, but that doesn't matter--just keep repeating a lie often enough and people will believe it as the truth.
Hell, how many times did the media claim Sarah Palin was the one who said, "I can see Russia from my house!" until most Americans believed it was her and not Tina Fey who actually said it?

True dat, but I think she did a marvelous job in exposing the weakness of the case. The accused liar is being accused by a liar. I don't watch a helluva lot of TV - it's really Mrs E's toy - but I have to assume that Greta et. al. will keep pounding on this to expose the accuser's lies.
That works for me.

Allred worked on Jerry Brown's first gubenatorial campaign. (http://www.1035superx.com/cc-common/news/sections/newsarticle.html?feed=153218&article=7667919)

If Brown wins, California will certainly be getting the government it deserves.

Gloria Allred is planning on milking this for the next two weeks. In that time period, she's trying to gin up support for the Latino vote.
Daily Kos even said that Allred wrapped up the win: "Glory Allred hands California to Jerry Brown".

NOW...
In my opinion, Whitman has been running a HORRIBLE race. As a business person, she's top notch. But in running the campaign she's running, she's HORRIFICALLY corporate, appears as scripted as Obama, and sounds like a wonk trying to buy an election. She doesn't give us that spark of commitment.
Had she run a race from the heart, and not from the boardroom, and instilled passion like Sarah Palin, this wouldn't even be an issue. But in trying to defend this nonsense, she's playing right into the democrats camp.
Frankly, this was a brilliant play by the democrats, and displays the ONLY way they can win: against RINO's who think they can just win by boilerplate script.
EDIT: Let me be clear: Allred knows damn well that what she's doing is bs. Levin and Greta can bitch back all they want, but Allred is doing this strictly to get Jerry Brown elected, and NOT to do anything that a "competent attorney" would portray. To that end, Allred is doing EXACTLY what is best for her cause, based not just on standard Democrat procedure on stealing elections any way possible, but also on knowing the weakness of the opponent.

yeah, she trotted out her little illegal puppet again today. Today she was bitching about how she is doing this on her own and is not being coached by gloria allred (yeah, sure, we believe you). She whined on about how she is doing this for all people living "in the shadows" in this Country. WTF? Does she think she is the mexican rosa parks?
She is an illegal alien who is trying to effect the outcome of an American election. She deserves to be prosecuted for fraud and identity theft and deported for being in the Country illegally. She is no ****ing hero.
Let’s have a little fun with this. ICE has a hotline to report suspicious activity or immigration and customs violations. The toll free # is 1-866-DHS-2-ICE (ICE website (http://www.ice.gov/about/contact.htm)). How about all of us take a few minutes and call this number to report senorita nicki diaz santillan for being an admitted illegal alien in this Country who has used fraudulent documentation to secure employment. I’m thinking ICE might get interested in taking some action if they are flooded with calls about this criminal living amongst us. Use the law office of allred, Maroko & Goldberg (6300 Wilshire Blvd., Suite 1500 | Los Angeles, CA 90048 Telephone 323-302-4774) as her last known place of residence.

This administration wouldn't do a damn thing about that illegal alien. Obama's own aunt spent many years here illegally. Besides, as long as Allred is pimping her to try and defeat a republican, she's on Obama's team.

You may wish to call ICE, but do NOT use any fraudulent information, such as Allred's office, as her place of residence. Keep in mind that the REAL issue is Latino participation in the race. In my opinion, because of Whitman's abysmal campaign, she did NOT take the issue head on; instead, coming out with mealy-mouthed doublespeak with regard to immigration.
Had she been a Tea Party republican, she would NOT be having half the trouble. And the thing about this is that Allred has been around, and knows the game. She knows the field, and most importantly, she knows the constituency. For every person who is pissed at Allred enough to vote for Whitman when they woudn't have voted for her in the first place, there are three pissed off Latino-Americans (and probably illegal aliens) who will vote for Brown while without this stunt, they would NOT be coming out to vote this election.
In short, Allred is giving up one vote, and gambling she will get three votes for Brown from Latinos, and this will translate to a 5-7% swing; in a close election that is seismic.
THIS is what Allred does, and Whitman was too stupid to realize that spending over a ninth of a billion dollars is NOT going to get the vote count. Sorry, gang, but unless Brown gets an epiphone, it's Brown for years 9-12 of super-socialist governorship in California.
