For those who recall the episode in the 2012 California governor race where Meg Whitman got into a PR problem for having employed an undocumented immigrant worker in the pass, that person is not forgotten, apparently.

My first reaction was 'who cares, she served her purpose'. But then I decided not to be so cynical. ![]() Glad to see she's being recognized.

Yeah, because all illegal immigrants can afford Gloria Allred as an attorney... |

First, I don't give a damn about Meg Whitman and her campaign. No skin off my nose, and I'm happy to see somebody that employed an illegal immigrant get caught in it and face some king of music. But let's not sit here and try to turn this housekeeper into some kind of hero. She was a tool used by Gloria Allred and other Jerry Brown supporters to bring down the competition. |

Yeah indeed, hence my original comment. But given how useful she was I'm happy if she gets a free dinner and a few toasts out of it. |

So much contribution for so little renumeration ... how can the local, legal, bona fide American workers compete?

Better to hire an illegal immigrant than not to hire one and be accused of racism. |
| As a good person, I implore you to do as I, a good person, do. Be good. Do NOT be bad. If you see bad, end bad. End it in yourself, and end it in others. By any means necessary, the good must conquer the bad. Good people know this. Do you know this? Are you good? | |
