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 need. The state of California offers very generous benefits to illegals. In California there is no practical difference between illegals and legals, benefits-wise.
So now Allred is into prosecuting people who hire illegals? Can’t wait till she starts cracking down on all the companies in California who hire them as well. I’ll make sure I don’t hold my breath though.
Not even when it involves a Republican candidate for Governor? Heh, heh.
Barbara Streisand perhaps? Shes an idiot and a crusader for far left causes.
Because she's targeting a Republican. Duh.
Do we even know the note at the bottom on the SS letter was actually written by Whitman’s husband? I didn’t see his name, initials or anything else that would indicate he wrote the message. For all we know, Nicki could have had one of her friends pen that little note.
Allred is such a POS, I wouldn’t put anything past her.
Ever notice when Gloria Alred comes before the microphones with her clients...she has her arm around them almost like they can’t walk or function and she has to have them lean on her for support. Her and her client should get Oscars for their performances. That would be just about as valuable as this bogus claim.
My first thought would be that it was written down wrong, maybe just a number was off, perhaps a 3 looked like a 5...
But I guess if you are brown, neo-libs think ‘illegal alien’ first, because the are racial profilers, racists, and we know they race-bait, too.
If the Whitmans questioned her citizenship, neolibs would just be calling them racists right now.
*yawn* It’s become so tiring predicting what they will do to win.
Perhaps her plan is to try to shake down Meg and her husband for a nice settlement so she doesnt have to find work.
Rotsa ruck.
A couple of years later, they tried to evict him and he threatened to turn them in for employing him. They ended up paying him a large chunk of money to get out. My now ex-wife told me not to laugh.
