It doesn't matter, twinkie. The employer holds the ultimate responsibility. Just like your CPA is not going to jail if you avoid paying taxes...you are.Powell didn't hire undocumented workers, he said he suspected that the firms that he did hire, were using them. Whitman employed Nikky directly.
Now if you want to look at hypocrites, I suggest you look at all those right wing squealing pigs who rail about "illegals" taking jobs away from Americans. Many of them can be found on this thread, contorting every fact, to pretend that this case is somehow different.
Whitman didn't either. She worked with a reputable employment agency. She asked for a "legal resident". The maid appeared with social security card in hand. A driver's license. A I9 for signed as truthful and accurate. The maid broke all the laws not the Whitman/s the maid should be deported. It's all a political hack job.
Whitman campaigns on the employer being responsible and yet wants to shirk her responsibility.
Sounds like an awesome Republican to me.
Whitman's excuses really start looking lame, when you consider she grew a company from 30 people to 18,000 people in 10 years. She has no excuse about not knowing the rules and regs of compliance, regarding employment. If some HR worker at E-Bay received a mismatch letter, and just handed it off to the worker, without following up, I'm sure Ms Whitman would have had that person's head.
Maybe the government should start auditing E-Bays employment files, since Whitman seems pretty lax in employee record keeping.
