Meg Whitman's former housekeeper was an undocumented worker and claims working for the Republican candidate for Governor was a "nightmare." Poster Comment: Where's ICE during this illegal alien press conference?
Nicky Diaz Santillan, Whitman's housekeeper of 9 years, held a news conference with her lawyer, Gloria Allred, and claims Whitman had all the clues she was an undocumented worker but closed her eyes to it because she was cheap help ... $23 an hour.
Allred claims the housekeeper was "exploited, disrespected, humiliated and emotionally and financially abused" by Whitman.
Allred claims when the housekeeper was hired 9 years ago through an agency, Whitman never asked if she was in the U.S. legally. And, during her employment, Santillan told Whitman she couldn't travel to Mexico. And, Allred said, Whitman found out Santillan's Social Security number didn't match her name, but Whitman did nothing. Allred said it's the classic case of "don't ask, don't tell."
That all changed, Allred says, when Whitman launched her campaign for Governor, realizing having an illegal alien on board was a liability ... and fired her.
Santillan says Whitman treated her "like a piece of garbage" by letting her go.
Allred says Santillan is filing a claim with the Labor Commission for back wages and mileage.
Yesterday, Whitman said in the debate with Jerry Brown that employers should be held accountable for hiring undocumented workers.

GOP's Meg Whitman says she once employed illegal alien SACRAMENTO — California Republican gubernatorial candidate Meg Whitman employed an illegal immigrant for nine years, then fired her when the employee said in 2009 that she was in the country illegally, Whitman's campaign said Wednesday. The announcement was made in a media call ahead of a press conference at which the employee is expected to claim she was mistreated by Whitman. The Whitman campaign has characterized the claim as political. Whitman lawyer Tom Hiltachk said the employee was hired in 2000 and provided standard forms showing she was a lawful permanent resident. He said that in June 2009 the employee confessed she was not a legal resident and used false documents to gain employment. Hiltachk said the employee was subsequently fired. Stutzman said the employee was "close to the family" and that the situation saddened Whitman. Read more: www.miamiherald.com/2010/...e-once.html#ixzz10wrGG6iv
There goes the Mexican vote, assuming she ever had any of it. Other than that, no big deal.
