and it's not like this hasn't happened enough times before. It's not the crime of the century, but you know it's an issue for every nominee, you know whether or not you have an illegal and whether or not you've been paying her taxes, and you know you're going to be asked about it. What was he thinking?

Exactamundo. We (and by we I mean they) are so two-faced on the whole subject of illegal workers. See, Kerik and others, do NOT pay remit taxes for these workers, so, of course they are cheaper to hire. Because they, and their employers are BREAKING THE LAW. Criminal activity is very often a route to obtaining things on the cheap. What galls me is that these criminal employers are at the highest level in our society, there aren't too many middle and working class folks with live-in nannys, gardeners, or chauffers.
It's not the crime of the century, of course you are right, but it is not a victimless crime either. The victims are American workers who don't have a shot at getting these jobs legally, since that would cost too much.
I'm amazed that Kerik's nanny actually LEFT the country, I can only wonder when she'll be back.
