MSNBC did an interview tonight with the reporter on this case. Interesting facts he pulled up in his investigation.
shareLike what?
shareLike how all these immigrants were instructed to 'buy socials' and other US documents for as little as $25-50 in New York City and elsewhere. According to workers, the information came from 'the top' in the T-rump Organization. They weren't concerned of how legal the workers were - they were concerned with getting the work done and the places staffed.
shareThis is very common corporate practice even in E-verify states. The management pretends to believe the fake documents are legit and hires undocumented workers, steals their wages, doesn’t follow employment laws, pushes them around because they won’t complain. Walk into any fast food restaurant in many cities and chances are, if the employee doesn’t speak English, they’re undocumented and getting taken advantage of.
shareIt's a practice that's been going on for 100+ years, no doubt. Of course, no matter how many years it's been going on, and how many businesses (big and small) practice this, it doesn't make it right - least of all when it's the President who is determined to send 'illegals' back (and legal Congresswomen).
shareBut trump continuing to employ undocumented workers isn’t reported on in the right wing propaganda machine so his brainless followers either don’t know it or won’t believe it.
shareWhat is the problem with the Trumpistas? How can they continue to support him when he has hurt so many people. . . .separating children from their parents, making racist, homophobic, etc. remarks in the open? Has he no shame????
shareNeither do they have any shame; that’s why they look up to him.
shareIt's funny how often leftists don't think through their own hysterical propaganda claims. Apart from the fact that Trump hasn't been running these operations for a while now, being president and all, what exactly is your point? Are you praising Trump for allegedly employing "undocumented workers"? Don't liberals support that? Or are you saying this is yet more evidence that illegal immigration is a problem, such a huge problem that even Trump-owned companies employ some illegals? If anything it screams the latter, highlighting how pervasive illegal immigration is.
As for Trump himself, he loudly said during the campaign that he had to do all sorts of things to play the game under the existing rules because the system was rigged, including effectively bribing politicians, declaring bankruptcy as an accounting scheme, etc.. Employing some illegals, whether accidentally or intentionally because they're cheaper than legal workers, would clearly fit into that box. He said he ran for president to fix the rules so businesses wouldn't feel compelled to do things like that anymore.
Even by modern Democrat standards this is a lame attack.

And you believe all that?
