So, Meg Whitman hires a Latino Lady to work for her. She finds her through an agency. When interviewed, the Latino Lady produces a Drivers License, Social Security Card and an official affidavit swearing that she is in the US legally. Whitman did all she could or should do by law. By the way, the Latino Lady was paid $23.00 per hour. I can think of thousands of people working for major chains across this Country who do not make half that pay but the poor Latino was used?
Years later, a month before Whitman's election campaign against Jerry Brown is to be decided, Gloria Alred goes on the news and says she is defending the poor helpless Latino who was used and abused by Whitman. It turns out the Latino lady lied at her interview, used her sister's Drivers License and Social Security Card and falsely swore she was here in the US legally. In other word, she committed purgery and is an illegal alien. Just how is that Whitman's fault who did everything right?
What is dirty is that Alred is a Jerry Brown supporter and friend. Jerry Brown is a political hack looking for one more shot at fame before he goes into Talk Show heaven.
Whitman's poling numbers fell in the last few days due to this really stupid ploy by Brown's surrogate who is nothing more than a legal Grandstander. I think it is the Latino community that is largely responsible for the dip in poling and that is a shame. After all, Whitman employed one of theirs, paid her twice the going rate and thought all was good in the hood. What exactly do the Latinos want? Maybe no "LEGAL" Latinos should be hired? Is that what they want? The legal Latino community should be full out against this obvious use of an illegal to get their favor.
If this stupid political stunt is all it takes to get voters off the subject of jobs, the economy and deficit spending, God help us all. This is an example of what is so very wrong with the whole system and how self serving people can screw things up in an already tough situation. Hey California voters, you need to pay attention to this and get angry. This is not the debate on your future representatives you need to be having. Don't let the Press and Alred's spinning take you off point. Your State and our Country need to have better debates than this if we are to get Government back working for us and not itself.
I really don't know which candidate would ultimately be better. I do know this sham is not the way to find out. Any wonder why I call this Blog GOVGONENUTS?
