"Nobody’s proven to me that they were illegal," Trump said, according to a Newsday report from the time.

Sometime between 1979 and 1980, Trump hired a contractor to demolish an old building in midtown Manhattan to make way for Trump Tower. The contractor signed on... 200 undocumented laborers from Poland dubbed the "Polish Brigade."
The Polish employees were off-the-books, working 12-hour shifts seven days a week for $4 to $5 an hour, with no overtime. Some workers were never paid what they were owed.
In 1983, union members sued a union boss, Trump and his contractor for cheating the union out of pension and welfare funds by hiring the Polish Brigade. Trump owed the union pension fund $1 million, the plaintiffs said.
Appearing in court in 1990, Trump blamed the violations on the contractor and denied knowing that the Polish workers were undocumented.
"Nobody’s proven to me that they were illegal," Trump said, according to a Newsday report from the time.
Nonetheless, Manhattan Judge Charles Stewart ruled against Trump a year later, saying that his representative "knew that the Polish workers were doing demolition work" and that his company participated in a "conspiracy" to cheat the union.
You may say that Marco Rubio is a little leftist bitch, and that this incident was 1979/1980, but the money quote is "Nobody’s proven to me that they were illegal."

“They didn’t make this decision in the summer because they needed us a lot then,” [one employee] said.
“I think they wanted to get their product out well, the grapes, to make sure that was taken care of, and once things were slow, they could fire us all,” the second employee said.
The Trump Organization did not respond to questions about the dismissals.
Trump is at least consistent...
