A good sign that someone has been called on their BS is to change the subject while spewing ignorant rhetoric and bigotry.

Get your facts straight. The letter stated the number and names didn't match. Could be a typo, could be an initial was not listed on the paperwork but was on file with SS. Didn't state it was invalid. The letter also stated that the EMPLOYEE was to fix it, NOT the employer.

Pathetic Republican excuses for a selfish capitalist who could care less for anyone but herself. Republicans are a minority because they are sociopaths just like criminals in prison. The only difference is that they have not been caught yet!

This whole story makes no sense. Why would a billionaire try to jeopardize her life by saving a few bucks to hire an illegal immigrant versus paying a bit more for a legitimate worker?

To her that would be like the difference between picking up a penny off the ground or not. I'm definitely not voting Jerry Brown after this smear campaign he pulled.

And what right does an illegal immigrant have to sue anyone else who is a citizen of this country? For backwages that she should never have gotten in the first place? What has this world come to?

Holy crap. I'm currently getting abused for way less than $23/hr. What the heck?

I take back what I wrote because it was a bit too extreme; guess I got carried away! See, I can admit when I am wrong but it doesn't change reality; Whitman has already lost. Anyone want to put some money on it?

Many people are independent contractors with nothing coming out of their checks.

The question here simply is, 1-did Meg know the housekeeper was illegal and did she mistreat anyone? If she knew miss housekeeper was an illegal she is a hypocrit, if she didn't get over it!!!!
Most illegals send the majority of their money home. They live 10-20 to a house and are not here for luxury, they are here to support families back home.

Alas for the GOP, Maidgate is all about Meg. There's no way she comes out of this looking like anything except a cross between a moron and a hypocrite, with a dose of Leona Helmsley thrown in. Stick a fork in her. '
I'll be voting for Brown but I have to disagree with the last part of your statement. This woman was being "exploited" to the tune of $23 per hour. At 40 hours per week that is almost $50,000 per year for being a MAID. I will cry no tears for her that is for sure.

Yes, Whitman is a joke but Allred's news conference was a sham too. Gloria Allred does a diservice to the women's movement and to the liberal causes she supposedly supports.
