Yet Again

Yesterday, the Washington Post broke the story (link here) that yet another company owned by Donald Trump employs illegal immigrants and has done so for twenty years.

"If you’re a good worker, papers don’t matter," said one of these undocumented workers, who has worked at seven of Trump's properties.

As the article documents, a Trump company official told the illegals where they could go to buy counterfeit immigration papers.

And Trump can't pretend that he didn't know anything about these people. Before becoming President, he regularly interacted with them and, at times, instructed them about their work.

This is the same Trump who's always running his mouth off about the country's being invaded by illegals. And this is the same Trump who's been hiring illegals since the 1970s -- from Central America, from Ireland, from Poland, and more. They've worked in his construction projects, his hotels, and his golf resorts.

People wouldn't be so inclined to come here without proper papers to work if people like Trump didn't hire them. They can hardly be blamed for trying to make a living when people like Trump make it easy for them to work illegally.

Of course, the greatest irony to all of this is that Trump's own wife, the current First Lady, worked illegally in the United States whilst on a tourist visa.
