>Israel is currently in the midst ...Ah, thanks.<br /><br />>Israel is currently in the midst of a huge issue with illegal workers<br /><br />Is this related to the issue with the children of foreign workers being deported?<br /><br />>and for a member of the government to have an illegal worker, working at their private residence, is not only illegal, but gives the worst possible message to the nation.<br /><br />This seems like a garden variety political scandal, to me. Every election cycle here a candidate is caught having an illegal Mexican or Ecuadorian nanny. Frankly, I still don't see what the big deal is that he and everyone else should go to jail for this. <br /><br />Is Ehud Barak a particularly strong proponent of not hiring illegal workers? What is the message being sent to the nation, exactly, by Barak having an illegal worker? Was she privy to al sorts of state secrets or something? Recently, in Canada, the foreign minister was having an affair with someone and left secret documents lying around his apartment, or something. Is that what we're talking about? I still feel I'm missing something.Vox Populihttp://blox-populi.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13539920.post-83843515528315601622010-10-18T18:28:21.112+02:002010-10-18T18:28:21.112+02:00Vox: Thanks - I probably didn't notice that it...Vox: Thanks - I probably didn't notice that it wasn't clear.<br /><br />Israel is currently in the midst of a huge issue with illegal workers, and for a member of the government to have an illegal worker, working at their private residence, is not only illegal, but gives the worst possible message to the nation.<br /><br />Then, add in that he manages to escape scott-free on the charges because "no one can find her" -- and the case is closed against them.<br /><br />Then, we find out she does exist...and she says specifically that she was easily findable because the Baraks had her phone number.Jameel @ The Muqatahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15890095633246557332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13539920.post-85518102136267884632010-10-18T18:25:14.076+02:002010-10-18T18:25:14.076+02:00I'm probably missing something here, but for t...I'm probably missing something here, but for the American audience, what's the big deal here, exactly?Vox Populihttp://blox-populi.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
