Undocumented Workers Lose Their Jobs at Yet Another Trump Property
By Miriam Jordan and Ben Protess

President Trump’s family business has employed undocumented workers more broadly than it was previously believed, with multiple workers losing their jobs last month at a Trump golf club in southern New Jersey.

I am beginning to think that you have a mad crush on Trump... But just lack the social skills. Like the boys in elementary who showed they liked me by pulling my hair or punching me in the arm.

If he fixed it he wouldn't have a platform to stand on. He's obviously failed on health care, on tariffs, on getting back coal jobs and on thousands of other promises.

He has one left. Bad bad brown people.

Personally, I love brown people. Some of the finest people around. Hard workers...honest, fit, family orientated. Actually I sorta like all people...all nice people.

Yet again, Trump's illegal workers
Who do you think they ought to work for?
You're the one who wants them allowed into the country. Do you think they should all go directly to welfare and not work for anyone? Or just work for anyone except Trump?


Hint: No matter what you say you are going to contradict yourself.
Build The Wall! Trump's approval is now at 50%!

Neither trump nor the wall poll at 50% approval despite what your fake news may tell you.

And trump is a hypocrite on illegal immigration, like most on the right

It's not less effective. Better to deter them at the border than to allow them to get into our country where they are much harder to weed out and more expensive to do so and not all illegals are coming here to work either. Trump has e-verify in his 2019 budget so you were saying? How does e-verify stop those who pay their illegal workers cash? Another good reason to deter them at the border so they can't get in here to work in the first place.

Well, you lost your line right there.

Most illegal immigrants come through airports and other ports of entry. The 'wall' is expensive political theatre, not a serious attempt to curb the problem.

The real issue is that the business community needs and wants those people (yes, even Trump), and they control the Republican party, so of course they will have you salivating over a 'wall' while they get all the people they need through the processes you are not concerned about. They have you under their spell coming and going.

"Hey, look at that shiny object over there! "

So can anyone picture illegal workers for the Clintons or Obamas being defended by anyone at all? Wow would there be a different take from the right-wingers. Trump is doing what his supporters hate. Hiring illegal workers--lots of them.

The Trump Organization not only built their empire using illegal workers up until LAST WEEK, they built an entire town in Central America!

And it's not just the Trump Organization. The entire Trump family is making a huge contributing to the economy of Central America through employeeing there citizens illegally here, or just for taking luxury vacations (on us!).

No--you cannot make this stuff up.

“For me, moving to the U.S. wasn’t a very drastic change,” one former employee of the Trump National Golf Club told the Post. “My whole town practically lived there.”

That employee was referencing Santa Teresa de Cajon, which reportedly became a pipeline for undocumented workers. The workers said they completed menial jobs for much less than what they would have been paid as legal licensed employees, and were intentionally hidden during high-profile events.

What’s worse, all 16 of the undocumented employees, who provided pay stubs and other evidence of their time at the course, told the Post that their managers were aware of their illegal status..."

Well, let's be honest. Not up until last week...continuing.

Dumper Jr. said it would be taken care of ASAP. You know, just as quickly as the ACA would be abolished and the Wall built and all that......

Plus, Don the Con also did Emergency Executive actions for MORE temp. "resort type" employees from other countries. Yeah, he made it legal...for HIM!.

Don't those nice people, mostly from Europe, take American jobs? What does a Trumpie say about that? After all they always crow about Americans waiting in line for all those jobs immigrants take?

Trumpes? How. Do. You. View. This.

Those Poles, Romanians and Slovenes are not brown, so it's ok.
