No, they didn't know it until ~9 months after hiring her, unless you can 
somehow demonstrate otherwise.

Yes they have.  They paid the 91-92 taxes in those tax years (and well before
the Zoe Baird flap brought the issue to public attention).  The 90 taxes
they failed to pay were paid this year, with full penalties and interest.

When exactly did he blame anything on illegals?  He merely announced support
for 187 (which BTW, Feinstein refused to take a stand on until after he
did... ever wonder why not?)

Not true; not true; probably true.

1) Hiring illegals was not against FEDERAL law then, but it was against 
   STATE law.
2) There were no "papers" authorizing the worker to work anywhere but INSIDE
   the Guatemalan embassy, and even then only for part of 1980.  The worker
   worked for Feinstein well beyond then.
3) She *did* pay some degree of witholding taxes, but has not produced full
   records, so it's not certain that *all* related taxes were paid.

Followups to ca.politics.
