I am Ahab

Meg Whitman says she unknowingly employed an illegal immigrant for nine years.

The article talks about how The Candidate for California Governor Meg Whitman hired an illegal immigrant for almost a decade! First of all I'd like to clarify that I don't lean towards a side when it comes to the issue of immigration, same with Politicians, I have no interest in politics.

While reading the Article I noticed a lot of tiny flaws that Meg Whitman shows in her statements. Well maybe they're not flaws but she gave hints throughout the article that she might be lying about the whole situation. Theres a lot of things that don't make sense to me.

For example, Doesn't anyone find it weird that the housekeeper got fired after 10 years right before Meg Whitman ran for Governor? Did they honestly find out she was an Illegal Immigrant after 10 years or did they jut turn the other way and pretend they didn't see anything? They DID receive a letter from the social security administration which Meg says it might have been "intercepted" by their Housekeeper to avoid being caught with a fake social security number, But wouldn't they kept sending letters or wouldn't the Whitman household requested a second letter?

It really doesn't feel or look like they did everything to make sure they hired someone legal to work for them. True, it might be a tactic by her competitors to discredit her and make her look bad in her campaign. But honestly shes not handling the situation well enough. Maybe some honesty might help her get some votes?
