This reminds me of all the nannygate scandals a while back.
Some candidate or appointee would be caught having hired, knowingly or unknowingly, an illegal.
I'd better not run for office- the guys hired by my gardener to mow and blow my little patch of lawn, trim my bushes, and whack the dead leaves off the palm tree just may be here illegally!
If I recall correctly, wasn't Bernie K. basically FORCED to give up his appointement to Homeland Security, because of this issue?
