while gloria allred has done some good things in the past, this is a politically motivated move that only hurts her client.

greta is hardly a conservative. she has worked as an attorney, as a reporter on cnn and on court tv, and now on fox news where she has her own show. greta is a fine lady who knows the law well, and like any good lawyer can work both sides. but again she is hardly a conservative.

it is the employees responsibility of making sure the IRS has teh right information, the employer can only give them what the employee gives teh employer. and as i recall Everify has not been around all that long.

Gloria Allred herself has fought some really good cases in her career and has helped a lot of people, some of it pro bono. She's not the villain that some of you make her out to be.
true, as i stated before, allred has done some good things over the years, but she is an activist first and a lawyer second. and that is where she is going wrong in this case.

Also, Greta's accusation is that the illegal maid and her children are being put in danger of being deported for political purposes. Greta needs to come to SoCal more often and see that this often is not the case. Otherwise, SoCal would not be so overpopulated with illegals everywhere.
ICE is going to be looking closely at this case because it has been highly publicized, and if they feel that the maid should be deported, you can bet that they will deport her. the maid also faces jail time for the felonies she has committed by using false identification to get a job.

The simple fact is: Whitman found out and did the right thing. The left wing is losing more mileage out of this, then they have gained.

Meg Whitman for Governor.
you are quite right, this was a political stunt that will very likely backfire on the brown and the democrats in california, and perhaps across the nation.

Not only is Greta anything but a conservative, she is or was actually a good friend of Allred's years ago.

Yup like Greta said several times to Allred during this interview "I like you" - imagine how shredded Allred would be if she hadn't LOL

It's no wonder so many of the "Looney Liberal's" live in absolute fear of old Fox News and it's highly "Intellectual" staff of commentators ! WOW !

Greta will most likely beat a whole heap of "Rats" into the ground during her gig with good ole Fox News" !

Get Em Greta ! Thanks Y'all / Old Sgt. Lamar

Wow lamar i absoutely agree with what you have said, Too bad more are not like Greta Susteren, and to the freaking point. Greta has it all over Allred whom i cannot stand. People fear something when it makes utter complete sense, and speaks to the truth. People fear what they know can hurt them in the end, and this is what Fox News does. Like to see Greta take on our President! would be quite interesting.

Without having facts, cannot say, but sounds as if Bad Politics on the other side, might have, could have, been up to this, not saying for sure without proof, but would not be the first time things as this nature has happened.
