Other than “to score cheap political points” I don’t get why the statist leftists care if Meg Whitman has an illegal working for her. I was under the impression they thought no one was illegal?

Are they screaming because Whitman fired the woman when she found out about her status? That reaction would actually be consistent with their position.

—Well, it’s partly to alienate the Hispanic-vote against her. The ‘evil, rich white Republican firing the poor, sobbing Hipanic woman.’

It’s also to try to portray her as being a hypocrite: ‘the anti-illegal immigrant Republican who hires illegals’. I don’t even know what Whitman’s actual stance is on illegal immigration- I was under the impression that she was somewhere in the middle (not open borders, but not in full support of the Arizona law), so this line of attack seems pretty hollow...
