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.[/quote]

I agree with you FormerSanDiegan.

But everything is relative in life.

Let’s look at the policy for a minute.

Which side is doing more to enforce our existing laws?

Which side is doing more to provide a path to legalization for immigrants here for decades already?[/quote]

We have a path for citizenship…and sneaking through the back door isn’t part of it.

FSD, I believe that there is more to this.

Whitman is a billionaire for God’s sake. She could easily have arranged for a third party to take care of her maid (family member she claimed).

Kicking her “family member” out after 9 years is not a compassionate way to treat a person who’s served her well.

Yet you are all for cracking down on employers and increasing workplace raids (based on your repeated assertions that Obama is doing more about the immigration problem than GW). What do you think happens to these employees being employed illegally when their employer is ‘caught’?
