Nannygate: Does Meg Whitman's call to "prosecute illegal aliens in all of our cities" (VIDEO) come back to haunt?

Republican gubernatorial candidate Meg Whitman still has plenty of questions to answer on Nannygate -- the story that an undocumented housekeepr worked in her home for nearly a decade -- and they may start with her own call to "prosecute illegal aliens in all of our cities."

Whitman made the statement to our SFGate.com Shaky Hand Productions on May 6, 2009, when she was a GOP primary candidate, and running hard to the right on immigration issues. This would also be a month before Whitman said she heard from employee Nicky Diaz that she lacked immigration papers.

Here's Whitman's statements to us back then:

1. There are Whitman for Governor billboards here in Cen. Ca. in spanish

She really thinks she can play both sides, doesnt she?

[MineralMan]

4. What do they say?

Meg Whitman es repleta con mierda!

o

Meg Whitman come la mierda!

If I lived there, I believe I'd be adding one of those statments to those billboards. A stencil and a spraycan of black paint would work just fine.

6. I dont know, I cant read them

:shrug:

[MineralMan]

7. Oh, OK. Never mind. I guess not everyone in CA learns

Spanish.

[MajorChode]

2. Yep, prosecute the aliens

Meanwhile she absolves herself of any guilt. Do they really think people are too stupid to reason that the reason why they come across the border is because people like her and Romney give them jobs? (Rhetorical question, after all we're talking about Republicans).

[Toucano]

3. Prosecute everyone who employs an undocumented worker.

$1,000 fine for every hour worked, and pain and suffering damages to the worker!
