In breaking news from California gubernatorial candidate Meg Whitmen reveals she was a victim of abuse by a Mexican illegal for years in her own home.

http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/cali...e-garbage.html

The California governor’s race took on a circus-like atmosphere Wednesday as a former housekeeper for Meg Whitman alleged the Republican gubernatorial nominee employed her for nearly nine years, even though Whitman knew the housekeeper was in the country illegally.

(some stuff deleted for space)

Whitman responded to the charges in a statement Wednesday. “After nine years of faithful service, Nicky came to us in June 2009 and confessed that she was an illegal worker,” the statement reads. “Nicky had falsified the hiring documents and personal information she provided to the employment agency that brought her to us in 2000. Nicky told me that she was admitting her deception now because she was aware that her lie might come out during the campaign. Nicky said she was concerned about hurting my family and me.”

For nine years, day after day the sanctity of Whitmen's home was VIOLATED by this "Nicky" who forced Whitmen to pay Nicky twenty three dollars an hour. Pure rank extortionism. Finally Whitmen was able to fight herself free of the odious grip of Nicky the Nanny and now is being hit by demands for overtime.

This is just a plan and brutal a shake down as the Teamsters or the UAW thugs have ever pulled on a hard working REAL American. Whitmen was busy single handily building E-Bay into the economic miracle it is today. Whitmen didn't have the time to research employment laws, the woman is a business executive, not an accountant!

Whitmen is a cautionary tale why all American need to rally together next November to fight the illegal alien menace. Illegals; they are in your fields, on your lawn in your houses crawlspace.

I hope that nasty housekeeper spends 30 years in prison before being deported. I also expect her to get poor Ms. Whitmen a replacement toilet cleaner.

Exactly! It's not the employer's responsibility to background check potential employees or go off the common sense assumption that if a person barely speaks English and is willing to work under the table that they are in fact an illegal alien. It is the illegal's responsibility to be up front and say: "Yes, I am an illegal alien." in as good English as they can possibly come up with.

I don't see why hard-working Americans like me should be looked upon with suspicion if I go and pick up a couple day laborers hanging outside of Home Depot. We are the victims here. We need cheap labor and these filthy illegals take advantage of us by accepting the work we make available.

More liberals take aim at Meg Whitmen.

This time it is Democrat attack group, the so called "Americans for Legal Immigration"

http://www.alipac.us/article5702.html

ALIPAC is asking Immigration and Customs Enforcement to arrest and charge both Whitman and Diaz for numerous immigration and employment law violations. [...]

Americans curious about Meg Whitman’s support for Comprehensive Immigration Reform Amnesty (CIRA) that would lift current laws and penalties for both illegal aliens and their employers now know why. If CIRA were to pass, exploitative employers like Whitman would escape the existing penalties under US law which have a nine year statute of limitations.

The American public has indicated in numerous scientific polls that well over 80% of Americans want employers like Meg Whitman heavily fined. Over 50% want the employers of illegals, like Whitman, jailed.

So I supposed the left wants a woman jailed for rape to? Pathetic, were is there mercy? Just blame the victim, but that is the left for you.

Meanwhile Meg Whitmen replies.

After 9 years of faithful service, Nicky came to us in June 2009 and confessed that she was an illegal worker. "Nicky has falsified the hiring documents and personal information she provided to the employment agency that brought her to us in 2000.

I believe Nicky is being manipulated by Gloria Allred for political and financial purposes during the last few weeks of a hotly contested election."

This is a shameful example of the politics of personal destruction practiced by people like Jerry Brown and Gloria Allred. The charges are without merit.

Clearly Jerry "Governor Moonbeam" Brown has moved politics into a new era of viscous personal attacks using his sock puppet Allred. So much for the years of honorable politics and rational debate from the Right. We are rewarded with lynch mobs drummed up by radical liberal shadow groups.

I understand precisely what you are saying Rev. Osborne. You always have such a crystal clear view.

At the end of the harvest, when all the men line up to get paid, I have Pedro ask their status so we can file taxes. Those that are illegal are asked to leave as they lied about their immigration status. The money they would of gotten is retained and used for a party for the Hutchins clan to celebrate the bountiful harvest.

This is the last thing that Meg Whitman and the state of California needs. California is in serious trouble on a variety of levels and it is time someone steps up to the plate and fixes things. If you think Jerry Brown is going to do the job you are flat out wrong. There is only one person who has proven they have the skills and know-how to get California back up and running, and her name is Meg Whitman.



These recent accusations from her former employee are nothing but a cheap plow on the part of the desperate Democratic left to turn the campaign away from the issues and frankly it is disgusting. Meg Whitman has shown time and time again that she is focusing her campaign on what she needs to do to fix California and is downright immature for her enemies to come out with something like this.

These are the worst allegations against Meg Whitman since she was accused of attacking the Ghostbusters back in 1989!

Now the Democrat attack machine has produced "evidence" Whitmen know her housekeeper was an Illegal.

http://www.sacbee.com/2010/10/01/307...-surprised.htm

Whitman had vehemently denied receiving such a letter from the Social Security Administration in a news conference just minutes before the housekeeper, Nicky Diaz Santillan, unveiled it Thursday at the offices of her attorney, Gloria Allred.

According to a copy released to the media, the letter is addressed to both Whitman and her husband, Griffith Harsh, and informs them, "We can't put these earnings on the employee's Social Security record until the name and Social Security number you reported agree with our records."

At the bottom of a form apparently included with the letter are the scribbled words, "Nicky please check this. Thanks."l

So what? Whitmen's husband knew about this. Whitmen is a woman for pet's sake. What does she know about Social Security Rules. She was too busy getting EBay slackers into line at the time.

Whitmen has fired back.

Responding to a reporter’s question, Whitman said she would be willing to undergo a polygraph test to prove her truthfulness.

She said Diaz Santillan regularly picked up her family’s mail and left it on a counter island in her house, suggesting that the housekeeper might intentionally have withheld the letter from Whitman and her husband.

“I think Latinos are really smart,” Whitman said. “I think they will see this for exactly what it is.”

That's right! Latinos, like Muslims the world over, are cunning terrorists. I would have been easy enough for the cunningly named Diaz Santillan to sneak into the family's kitchen at night, grab the letter, slide into the Whitmen's bedroom and have Mr Whitmen sign the letter while he is sleeping.

People wake up the kind of abuse going on here to the Whitmen's!

Meg Whitmen is wonderful, but next time, maybe she shouldn't buy her servants on E-Bay.

This whole so-called "scandal" misses something that's pretty obvious, and vitally important: Meg Whitman is a woman. What we're essentially looking at here is a (manufactured) scandal that hinges on a piece of information that this woman supposedly knew. Hello? Does no-one else see the obvious problem here? So what if this Meskin told her that they were illegal? Even assuming that poor Meg could understand her accent, it still doesn't change anything, unless they can prove that the Mexican housekeeper gave her a good spanking immediately afterwards. Everyone knows that that is the only way for a woman to learn anything, and information that's not accompanied by a spanking just slips in one ear and out the other, so how was she supposed to remember?

Godly point that must be made over and over again; Meg Whitmen decisive management style built EBay from the ground up, however how can a woman like her understand the cunning plans of an illegal alien?

David Brooks explains Whitmen right here (warning: New York Times)

If I had as much money as Meg Whitman, I’d probably have a more exuberant house. Hers is perfectly nice. But at a time when other Silicon Valley moguls were installing underground squash courts, arcade-size game rooms and other gewgaws, she stuck with a New England-style colonial. The furniture is traditional. There’s a middle-age Ford in the garage. There are definite signs of WASP parsimony and understatement here, especially compared with the $120 million she’s spent on her campaign to become California’s governor.

Whitmen is a simple women with simple tastes like the $120 million is is buying the governorship of California with.
