Is this going to be like divorce/affairs/marijuana use/etc. that once we have a handful of people booted for it we no longer care?
WASHINGTON, D.C. ― President-elect Donald Trump’s pick for commerce secretary admitted at his Senate confirmation hearing Wednesday that he recently fired a household employee who could not provide proof that they could legally work in the country.
Having undocumented household help has sunk at least two previous cabinet secretary nominees.
Billionaire private equity executive Wilbur Ross told the Senate Commerce Committee that when he hired the worker in 2009, the person provided what looked like a valid driver’s license and Social Security card. After Ross was nominated by Trump, he asked all his household staff to provide such documentation again.
“When I was getting ready for this hearing I wanted to recheck all our present and former employees,” Ross said, adding that all but one of about a dozen workers provided the right documentation.
“This one employee was unable to and therefore was terminated,” Ross said. The entire process happened in the last month.
I'm beginning to think that we are much more fucked than I thought.
