I agree with that, except that it says he realized he had a problem when he was working on the paperwork required for confirmation.

If this happened years and years ago, then it truly may have slipped his mind and never occurred to him as a problem at all.

The reason I say I can understand this is that 14 years ago, I was working tons of shifts and my husband at the time, was a Border Patrol agent working in Florida.

I was still in Texas. Anyway, my housekeeper was a wonderful sweet Columbian woman.

Mike didn't know anything about her until she had worked for me for almost a year.

I never thought about her legality to work and I was the wife of a Border Patrol agent.

I never filed any papers or anything.

I am one of the most honest people you could ever meet. I just never thought anything about it.

So, maybe he was young and not fully aware of legality issues.

BTW, Mike had a near stroke and I had to get rid of Lucera.

She was so nice......I wonder what happened to her.

lets hope she didnt save her wages and is now attending flight school.

Good points...but he has been in law enforcement himself, and was working for the government and the coalition authority in Iraq...this should already have come up.

But, as you say, if it was years ago and he was unaware of what happened while he was off somewhere, I can see how it could easily have slipped through.
