[quote=Hobie]I would have thought the Whitman campaign would have anticipated this and would have a pre-planned counter attack. Her response in just denying it while true, appears weak.[/quote]
If you think about it, it’s the only thing she could have done. Imagine the damage to her campaign (particularly in the primary) if she would have hired immigration attorneys to assist her illegal immigrant employee. Soft on immigration does not play to her base.
It’s a catch-22.
What are we supposed to do as citizens if/when we find out that our employees are here illegally ?
The reality is that in practice immigration policy in this state is equivalent to the don’t ask, don’t tell policy.
We are too weak to change the law to allow legalization and we are too weak to enforce the current law and deport everybody.
