LOS ANGELES —
The former housekeeper of billionaire California gubernatorial candidate Meg Whitman is being honored at an immigrant rights gala in Los Angeles.

The Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights, which organized Thursday's fete, says Nicky Diaz Santillan's situation is similar to many illegal immigrant household workers.

The group is pushing for a state domestic workers' rights bill like the one that passed in New York last year requiring overtime pay for nannies, housekeepers and companions to the sick.

The Mexican-born Diaz Santillan claimed Whitman knew she was an illegal immigrant during the nine years she was employed, which Whitman denied.

The California Nurses Association helped Diaz Santillan make her story public, which helped sink the first-time Republican candidate.

Others being honored include retired Los Angeles Cardinal Roger Mahony and actress Rosario Dawson.

This criminal is still here! Of course she is now being celebrated amongst the illegal invading groups as the poster child for their efforts to colonize this country. We have an illegal invader who admits to their crimes before the nation and instead of being deported, she’s being elevated as a hero before those very groups responsible for this invasion. So much for the rule of law! Gloria Allred must have some friends in high places.

What a joke!
