Trump Criminal Trials

You do know that Trump's immigrant border story only exists so that he could create a non-existent boogyman that he could claim to be protecting stupid people from right?

Trump loves illegal immigrants. He has a long history of employing them in his businesses because they work cheap, have few rights and usually don't go to the authorities if they are treated badly or don't get paid.

Now I do say "usually don't go to authorities" but then working for Trump seems to throw us pretty extreme circumstances and treatment. He's been doing it forever.

Do you recall in 1980 when "Donald Trump employed a crew of 200 undocumented Polish workers who worked in 12-hour shifts, without gloves, hard hats or masks, to demolish the Bonwit Teller building on New York's Fifth Avenue, where the 58-story, golden-hued Trump Tower now stands.The workers were paid as little as $4 (£3) an hour for their dangerous labour, less than half the union wage, if they got paid at all." ?

When he got sued for it do you think he paid up? Nope, fought it in court hoping to use his wealth to drag it out and make it too costly to pursue him. But he failed and agreed to settle for millions 19 years later. So why didn't you know about this? That would be because Trump had the court hide the settlement to keep it secret for the next 20 years.

That was just 200 illegal workers who Trump employed and didn't get paid. Do you think he stopped doing it after that? Of coarse not. Who can pass up cheap labour?

Eric Trump who admitted that the Trump Organisation employs undocumented workers in its golf courses. In fact when it became apparent that they probably shouldn't have acknowledged this whilst his daddy was telling scary stories about illegal workers and the existential threat they post to the safety of America, the Trumps quickly sacked a whole stack of them, some of which had worked there for decades.

So do you think they stopped using cheap illegal labor after all Trump's grand standing on the subject? Well it seems not. Looks like they still employ loads of them in less obvious places including a traveling group of maintenance workers for his gold clubs.

Anyhow, like most things Trump points the finger at as deeply evil, you can be sure that hes either doing it or done it himself shamelessly.

Yes it's interesting that his top priority on immigration contril like his tax policy had such unintended consequences
