Jacob Hornberger wonders why the people who pounded on WM for hiring contractors who used illegal immigrants are silent on the charges that Bernard Kerik hiring an illegal immigrant nanny:Amidst all the hubbub over Bernard Kerik�s decision to remove himself from consideration as director of Homeland Security owing to his reported hiring of an illegal-immigrant nanny, no one, including the press, seems to be asking an important question: Why aren�t the feds seeking a criminal indictment against him? After all, hasn�t it been a federal felony offense since 1986 for any American to hire an illegal immigrant? Didn�t the feds charge Tyson Foods officials with hiring illegal immigrants just last year? Haven't they also targeted Walmart executives for possible indictment for the same thing?
So, why no federal criminal indictment for President Bush's cabinet nominee Bernard Kerik for hiring an illegal immigrant?Of course, we know why Kerik really withdrew...
