SAN DIEGO -- A San Diego ACORN employee who appeared to give human-smuggling advice to a pimp and prostitute in an undercover video made by conservative filmmakers has been fired, 10News' Juliette Vara reported.

ACORN's David Lagstein issued the following statement regarding Vera:

After release of the second San Diego video by the unscrupulous partisan videographers, we have reevaluated our assessment of the incident that occurred last month. No paperwork was filed, but the video reflects unacceptable conduct that contradicts the earlier statements of ACORN Organizer Juan Carlos Vera. He has been terminated. San Diego ACORN and ACORN offices around the country are continuing to halt our service programs pending the results of the evaluation of the independent Advisory Council and we are continuing to fight on our campaigns: stopping foreclosures, affordable, accessible health care, and a strong education for all children.

In a press conference Thursday at ACORN's National City headquarters, Vera said statements he made in the video were taken out of context.

The now-former ACORN worker said he was merely trying to help the pair because he thought they were in danger.

"I never done anything wrong in my life," Vera said. "They destroyed my family."

In the footage filmed in July, filmmaker James O'Keefe and his partner, Hannah Giles, posed as a pimp and prostitute, and asked Vera for housing help.

  • Man, more ACORN corruption videos, these guys are so screwed.

  • ...saying "Those undercover stunts are wrong." LOL!!! Legal action? Against what? Exposing corrupt workers complicit in facilitating felonies?

    These A-Cornholes have been outside the law for so long, they can't understand "You're busted."

    Buh-bye, Juan.

  • Your undercover "filmmaker" and about three of his buddies got arrested today for trying to wiretap a senator's phone. He was phone videoing two of his friends posing at telephone repairmen and they found someone in a car nearby with listening devices.

  • The U.S. Congress makes Acorn look like the Girl Scouts.

  • The undercover filmmakers are HEROES who should be awarded for their efforts.

  • So will Barack be reprising his role as ACORN defense lawyer?

    I've been fighting alongside of ACORN on issues you care about my entire career [ including child *services*, financial *services*, and *voter* registration? ] Even before I was an elected official, when I ran Project Vote in Illinois, Acorn was smack dab in the middle of it, and we appreciate your work. --Obama, 07
