What is it with Labor Secretary nominees and this issue?
I seem to recall this same kind of revelation back in 2001 with the first Labor Secretary nominee.
I understand liberal republicans like Murkowski, Collins, and Isakson, but why would Tim Scott jump on the loser train?
What more is the guy supposed to do?
The GOP four better hope their records are squeaky clean.
He said she worked there for three years before they found out she was illegal? Why wouldn’t they have verified that from the get-go? Maybe it’s possible he’s on the up-and-up, because I don’t understand what’s entailed in hiring household help, but I would think anyone would check that out.
And when did they “discover” she was illegal? After he knew he was being considered for a position in the Cabinet?
if he was a dem, it would be no biggie, considering he didn’t know at the time. The Reps need to let go of their ‘apologize for breathing’ attitude, and learn to say, ‘so what?”
Confirm him now!
Well ... bye, Putzer. It was nice knowing you.
“When I learned of her status, we immediately ended her employment and offered her assistance in getting legal status,” he said. “We have fully paid back taxes to the IRS and the State of California.”
‘Nuf said.
Confirm him.
It all depends upon when he discovered it and how quickly he acted. If it was after September of 2016, I’m not buying it. If it was years ago, he should be confirmed.
Meh...Confirm him unless Trump can find someone to make the Leftists even angrier.
This is the one appointment AI am not comfortable with.
This guy is a Cheap Labor Express Republican who advocated for amnesty and hired illegal aliens.
I say dump him.
He is not qualified for the position.
Anyone who hires an illegal is not fit the serve...unless it’s serving time.
It figures that our girl MurCOW ski would object. Why doesn’t anyone ask her about illegals in the Alaska seafood processing industry.
Why do we have a department of labor?
Wow, this Kinda reminds me of 20 years ago when people cared about the law.
He had to have guessed she was illegal, otherwise she could’ve easily have shown documents. He obviously didn’t ask. And then offering to help get her legal status? He should’ve made sure she was deported. Get rid of this jerk.
Puzder said in a statement Feb. 6 he and his wife had employed a housekeeper for three years but didn’t know she was in the U.S. illegally.

Cow patties...
it didn’t matter to him because he goes on to say “When I learned of her status, we immediately ....offered her assistance in getting legal status,”
Someone who cared would have used E-Verify and would have got her deported “immediately” when they found out she had lied...
Don’t tell me a US Senator cant get hold of immigration records...
I was aware of a criminal ring operating out of Balboa Island in Newport Beach, CA (extremely rich area) that supplied illegal maids to wealthy women in that area. The wealthy women hiring the illegals knew what was going on. I suspect that Pudzer let his wife run the house. That is not a good exuse
So what! In Southern California it is impossible not to hire an illegal. More illegals than legals and no way to determine what is what. Ask a workman hired for your house for a green card. Guess he has one. Went to a stationary store, bought a green paper, and has his friend, an illegal with a computer, and there you have it. A GREEN CARD
By the way, have you seen what a green card looks like?
Trump should withdraw his nomination, then close the DOL ...
