Let’s pretend that Meg Whitman is telling the truth and that she didn’t know Nicky Diaz was illegal until 2009.
Ok. The SECOND Whitman was told that Nicky wasn’t here legally, Whitman should have not only fired her, but she should have reported her. To say that she didn’t because Nicky had been ‘like family’ for many years is bullshit. If Whitman is going to pretend to be hard-nosed about illegal immigration and say that employers are responsible for hiring illegals, then that means HER too. She cannot hide behind her own version of “don’t ask, don’t tell”; nor should she get away with “do as I say, not as I do”.
I don’t believe for a second that Whitman didn’t have a clue as to what Nicky’s status was prior to Nicky’s confession. Whitman has dug a deep hole for herself by insisting she wasn’t aware and by turning a blind eye, not practicing what she preaches, etc. etc. Allred, although the worst example of an opportunist ever, holds the smoking gun of a letter.
Should Diaz be compensated for all this drama? Hell no. Neither should Allred. (Although, clearly Allred is paid in screen time.) Every single person associated with this mess is guilty. Every one of them. Meg Whitman, most of all because she is the one that is running for office on an anti-illegal-immigration platform – yet she didn’t report Nicky. She admits that.
Pot? Meet Kettle.
