California gubernatorial candidate Meg Whitman's isn't the only Republican facing housekeeper woes: Republican Brian Sandoval - who is running for Nevada governor - is now facing similar accusations.

CBS affiliate Channel 2 News in Reno reports that Ana Padilla, a Guatemalan immigrant, has come forward with a claim that she was employed by Sandoval as a housekeeper during the 1990s, before she gained legal status.

Padilla, who illegally immigrated to the States from Guatemala in 1986, said she was never asked to prove she was a legal resident.

Sandoval's campaign has denied the allegation, as well as any association with Padilla.

1. I think it's safe to say

That we will be seeing a lot more of these little suprises before the November election. It appears that the rethugs are finding it much harder to keep this stuff a secret.........

2. Well people who they hire and abuse

are angry and it is "safer" to come out than it was before.

The zeitgeist of the country is changing under the elite's feet.

4. I also heard he blamed his opinion for smearing him again

the republicans break the laws and then the blame the Democrats when the truth comes out. Isn't that typical.

5. He might have thought she was legalized under Simpson-Mazzoli

A lot of people were. Of course, we were promised that the door would be shut with the new laws that were designed to screen out those without proper ID.

That's why so many people, myself included, are not in favor of any new immigration law that promises to be the be-all and end-all of this problem. Why not just keep the status quo, we already have plenty of illegal aliens here who seem to be functioning quite normally.
