Meg Whitman's Illegal Immagrant House Maid- What Should It Mean?
During this election for governor in California, it came up that Meg Whitman used to employ an illegal citizen to clean her house, clearly out of line wiht the mindset of her campaign that speaks strongly of not letting illegal citizens and foreigners take our jobs and bringing lost ones back to our state. Although there's the obbvious veiw that this is hypocritical of her and she isnt true to this belief in empploying Californian citizens, it can also be seen as the very essence of the point she is tryign to make: right now we are reliant on illegal immagrants for many roles in our society, so much so that even if you dont like it or believe in it, you'll buy into it at some point in time. I completely see whay someone would see this as a illegitimate aspect ot her campaign since it puts her past actions at contrast with her current beliefs that she has been preaching around the state; but at same time maybe it proves as an example of how big this issue she is trying to fight has really become. Personally, i think it's both: its definately an example of how the role of the illegal immagrant is because even someone who lobbies against it cannot avoid buying into it themselves, adn its hippocritical mainly because she tried to hide it instead of making it an example of the issue herself.

Will i agree with you, Meg Whitman looks very bad by employing an illegal when she is anti illegal immigration. But why didn't she just check for identification to make sure she was legal? She probally knew she was illegal and wanted to get cheap labor.
ReplyDeleteEven though she is a hypocrite, i do not think that this should be such a big deal. It takes away from the actual policies and plans that each candidates has and focuses on dumb drama.
