This is what my understanding of what this issue is. If I have something wrong, please drop me a line.
Five weeks before the gubernatorial election in California, Nicandra Diaz Santillan, a former maid for Meg Whitman, comes out of the shadows and claims abuse (something about not being reimbursed for mileage). Though, nobody is asking how a $23/hour job can be construed as abuse, that's beside the point.
Gloria Allred comes out of thin air and apparently, via a third party, says that she is representing Mrs. Santillan.
Mark Levin is the first to break it wide open when he gets the Hollywood lawyer to come on his talk show, where he excoriates her and eventually gets the name of the lawyer that is representing Mrs. Santillan, who we now know is Mark Van der Hout. Who's he? According to Reihl World View, Mark Van Der Hout is a far left activist lawyer, who's activism goes back years.
From what I'm gathering of this whole thing, it goes something like this:
In 2000, Meg Whitman hires Nicandra Diaz Santillan as a maid for $23/hour. Unknown to Meg Whitman, she entered the country on falsified documentation. At some point in 2008 or 2009 (I'm not sure of the exact date), Meg Whitman's husband gets a "no match" letter from the Social Security Administration, which essentially means that the information they have about Mrs. Santillan doesn't match with what they have on record. Meg Whitman's husband writes something on the letter for Mrs. Santillan to resolve it, however, Meg Whitman kept Mrs. Santillan in her employment.
According to immigration lawyers, she did not act unlawfully by keeping the housekeeper employed. Had she done so, based on that letter, Meg Whitman would have put herself in legal jeopardy.
Sometime in 2009, Meg Whitman fires Mrs. Santillan, but, keeps her illegal status to herself. Quite noble, if you ask me.
Now that Gloria Allred and Mark van der Hout has come out to represent Mrs. Santillan, they have put a huge neon sign on her head and have put her and her children at risk of being deported; though ICE has not decided what they are going to do as of yet.
As far as I'm concerned, Mrs. Santillan is being used as a political pawn in a dirty campaign that may ultimately lead back to Jerry Brown. It's just a guess, but 12 million illegal aliens in this country and Mrs. Santillan just happens to come to the forefront in a hot button issue during a gubernatorial race, in California?
Just sayin'
