Why Isn't The Left Screaming At Gloria Allred?
Legal Insurrection ^ | September 30, 2010 | Professor William A. Jacobson

Posted on 10/01/2010 7:39:44 AM PDT by La Lydia

Gloria Allred is doing more to drive illegal immigrants underground and to target Latinos for racial profiling than anything the State of Arizona has even thought of doing. Allred dropped a late-September surprise on Meg Whitman based on the allegation that Whitman did not do enough to verify the status of her Latino housekeeper. Whitman, by all accounts, obtained the usual required documentation when she hired the housekeeper.

The thrust of Allred's attack is that after Whitman or her husband received a letter from the IRS alerting them to a possible discrepancy in the housekeeper's social security number, Whitman did not do enough to follow up. Instead, according to Allred, Whitman's husband gave the letter to the housekeeper and left it to the housekeeper to clear it up. (Note: This is Allred's account, it is not yet clear that this account will be verified.)

Allred may be right that the employer (in this case Whitman and her husband) should not have left it up to the housekeeper to clear up the problem, and should have been more suspicious. Had Whitman or her husband followed up, the housekeeper would have been fired several years ago.

Call Allred a strict constructionist when it comes to the immigration laws, just like the people who are excoriated by the left as racists for seeking enforcement of federal immigration laws.

The message Allred is sending is that if you are going to hire an immigrant, not only must you dot every federal immigration law "i" and cross every federal immigration law "t", you also must not trust the immigrant if a problem arises. At least not if you want to run for public office....

So why isn't the left excoriating Allred? Why isn't Allred being called the most vile names usually reserved for Tea Party supporters or Republicans?

Because this time political correctness and the use of the race card would not help to defeat a Republican running for Governor of California.

No one is going to hire her because Gloria has outed her as an illegal immigrant to the entire world. She is an Untouchable now.

Jerry Brown is still Attorney General which means he's still in charge of prosecuting offenses related to illegal immigration.

If it is assumed that Meg Whitman KNEW this woman was an illegal, why is he not prosecuting her?

It should be obvious, don't cha'think! The left doesn't want to call attention to Meg's ex-housekeeper and all the laws the housekeeper broke: illegal entry to country, forged illegal social card, fraudulently filling out citizenship forms, fraudlent filing our W-2 forms.

The housekeeper has broken 5 or more laws. She's a career criminal by any measure.

Hypocrisy.

Liberals' stock-and-trade.

If I were Allred, I’d be concentrating on more relevant issues to her life, like say falling houses or buckets of water.....

Hugh Hewitt tore AllDread up on his show night before last. I can’t imagine having to listen to this harpie for five minutes. And not much of a lawyer when it comes to understanding IRAC. Never mind the law she said, it’s the detials that count and I’ll tell you what they are.

Maybe they are, and we just can’t hear them over Gloria’s shrieking.

Two things.

They can’t scream at anyone.

They are profoundly deaf

They are deaf.

What?

I can’t hear you:?

You are forgetting that the states’ attorneys general, according to DoJ, do not have any authority to enforce our immigration laws (not that Jerry Brown would lift a pinky to do so.)

Did any of us read the letter? I believe the responsibility to clear up the SS number was the person itself since all the documentation was cleared by the agency they used. But before all this crap it would be advisable to read the standard form letter informing that an error in the SS number. Whitmans husband did the right thing by handing to the maid the letter and requesting she clear it up. Whitmans responsibility stopped there. Since the maid sorts the mail any further correspondence probably was stopped. So the Mr. Whitman had no belief that the SS not cleared and Meg’s accountants just continued paying SS. Reasonable? Maybe some of you just don’t get it, this is a typical Allred crap. Also Meg probably didn’t know any problem existed since her husband did the right thing and probably never told her.

Yep, amnesty is good, illegals are good, if they are using them and no one knows but they will use it against you if you are the enemy.

Homosexuality is good, natural and encouraged unless you are the enemy then they will use it as a moral bludgeon.

Taxes are good and should be raised to make sure the poor have their cell phones but if you are a liberal, you don’t have to pay...just the enemies.

Extreme environmentalism is vital, SUVs must become extinct unless they are the ones driving them. The environment must be protected unless they are the ones raping it for monetary gain.

Abortion is good, there are too many people in the world now but they continue to have children.

Your opinion and actions are good only if you submit to them or become them.

"She is an Untouchable now."

FORECAST: Social Services will rush in, brimming with compassion, and offer her every benefit that the State provides to legal Citizens. A TV reality show will offer her a part in a cover of her life story, Moonbeam will redouble his campaigning to hispanics, the Feds will expedite her grant of citizenship, Obozo will phone her, Meg will lose her election bid - MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!

The message from Allred is: Don’t hire any Mexicans. They can’t be trusted not to stab you in the back later.
