I don't think she much cared about the person's legal status as long as they provided cheap labor.
Niki was paid $23 an hour 15hrs a week whether she actually worked the whole 15 or not. She had paid vacations, paid maternity leave. She also had flexible hrs to where she could work when she wanted. I think an American would do that job.
I watched the press conference and am convinced Meg Whitman did nothing wrong.
The only thing close were the people who thought that with her means, she should have paid for an immigration attorney for the woman. Whitman said Niki lied to her for 9 yrs. had broken the law and she did what she felt was right. That was letting her go, not turning her into ICE, and not drawing attention to her.
For those saying she only fired her because she was running for office is wrong. She joined the race in Feb. and didn't fire her until June.
She hired a new maid from the same agency. She said the agency was not at fault and did everything possible to make sure their employees were legal. If the agency was fooled, how can anyone say Whitman should have been more thorough in checking her immigration status?
Also when asked if she would take a poligraph, there was no hesitation when she she would be more than willing.
Whitman came across very honest and made me think a lot more of her. I wasn't that impressed with her before. I hope stomps Jerry Brown.
