Meg Whitman’s house maid faked her identity to get hired and she said her boss knew about it. The timing of the revelation is curious, given the Republican nominee for California governor is going all out to win the November election. Cracking down on companies that employ undocumented workers is a major plank in Whitman’s campaign platform.

Meg Whitman’s house maid: illegal for 9 years
Nicky Diaz Santillan, as Meg Whitman’s Mexican house maid, went with her super star attorney Gloria Allred to a press conference Wednesday to spread the news. Whitman fired her house maid after realizing having an unlawful worker would hurt her campaign, reports the newest York Daily News. {Allred said Whitman knew Diaz Santillan was an illegal immigrant all along, yet turned a blind eye since the housekeeper provided cheap labor|The housekeeper provided cheap labor to Whitman which is why, claims Allred, she continued to employ Diaz Santillan although she knew the maid was an unlawful immigrant|Whitman was not ignorant to the fact that Diaz Santillan was an unlawful immigrant, reports Allred.

Allred said Whitman received a letter from the Social Security Administration in 2003 saying the Social Security number provided by Diaz Santillan did not match the name on file. Whitman claims no letter ever reached her, claims the Houston Chronicle. In June 2009, five months after Whitman began to start running for governor, Diaz Santillan came to Whitman claiming she had used her sister’s documents to get hired, states the Whitman advertising campaign . Whitman’s campaign said Allred’s news conference was a political stunt timed to influence the November election. Following a campaign event in San Jose, Calif., Whitman said “I feel terrible for Nicky. … She’s being manipulated.”.
Is the unlawful immigration problem make a hypocrite?
Ironically enough, Whitman has been campaigning in California for governor to make it so fines are given to any employers that hire illegal immigrants. The Washington Independent reports that some political analysts think Allred’s allegations will hinder her campaign’s efforts to reach out to California’s large Latino population. Hypocrite is probably the name she’ll be branded with. This is supposed to be expected.
