Did Poobah cite the case or was this some made up story?

Read the post.

He heard it secondhand from someone dating one of the people in the U.S. Attorney's office where the case was prosecuted.

I'm sorry that I don't have a specific case citation for you. The source was a young lady who worked in the US Attorney's office in San Diego. They brought the case because Prop 187 won pretty big in San Diego, and they thought prosecuting an employer would make Clinton look good. Like I said, they would've been better off going after welfare chiselers--but that would've been going after the Democrat core constituency.

I briefly dated the young lady who told me this story. It was 10 years ago, but her recounting the case made quite an impression on me--mostly because she was absolutely livid--to the point where I broke up with her because I didn't want to be involved with anyone that went that crazy over things they could not control.
