Nicandra Diaz-Santillan, Whitman's 'Undocumented' Former Maid:
Candidate Never Asked For Papers (UPDATE)

The Huffington Post

UPDATE: 2:42 p.m. ET -- Meg Whitman knowingly employed an
undocumented worker through 2009, according to attorney Gloria Allred.

Nicandra Diaz-Santillan, the employee, sat next to Allred during a
press conference Wednesday and tearfully detailed her experience as a
housekeeper for Whitman.

Allred told reporters that her client was paid for just 15 hours of
work per week, despite working past those hours. Allred claimed that
when Whitman hired her client, she never asked if she was in the
country legally. She also said that her client had been "exploited,
disrespected, humiliated, and emotionally and financially abused."

"Nicki" told reporters that when Whitman let her go, the Republican
candidate for governor said, "I don't know you, and you don't know me."

Allred refused to answer a reporter's question about whether her
client would face deportation after coming forward.

As the LA Times reports:

"I told her I don't have papers to work here and need her help,"
the worker said at a press conference in attorney Gloria Allred's
office. Whitman's husband "was very angry and said, 'I told you, I
told you she was going to bring us problems.' Ms. Whitman turned to
him and said, 'Calm down, calm down.' " She said Whitman's husband
"yelled" at her. "I was crying for fear and intimidation. With a face
full of tears, I told them, 'I believe in people. And I believe
people deserve a chance. I also told them I don't wish them any harm.
I just wanted their help.

hooked up to a lie detector and grilled on a regular basis.
Wrong answer, dummy. The democrats would be gone. Did WAFA bitch slap
you via email for that post yet?

Dan, take your meds.
