“There is someone in our wider universe whose immigration status is not yet when they are trying to get it,” said Mr. Murphy. “And we said,” You know what? “Let her live in our house above our garage.”
“And good luck for the federates who come to try to get it,” he said.
Governor’s assistant explained on Monday that the woman was legally in the country and never lived on the property of the Murphy family. The helper did not clear what relationship, if any, had a woman with a governor or his wife.
