I read that there was a nanny and/or housekeeper whose immigration status was 'not clear' and that Kerik thought it would have been a distraction. Good for him for remembering. But, how did he get nominated in the first place?
Not an uncommon phenomenon- illegal nannys- but an ironic reason for a potential homeland security director to be disqualified. Do they interview people before nomination?
"Hi, so, like, you're going to have to make sure no illegal immigrants make it over here, 'cause we dunno who might be a terrorist sleeper"
"Ya-sure, no problem"
"Ever helped an illegal?"
"No, never"
"Oh, that's a relief. And, we'll take you at your word and nominate you for one of the most important cabinet positions we've ever made without verifying your story through our supposedly reformed intelligence agencies."
