Lawmakers Call on FBI to Investigate Reports of Undocumented Workers at Trump Properties


Ten lawmakers called on FBI Director Christopher Wray in a Wednesday letter to investigate “the disturbing allegations” that the Trump Organization routinely and knowingly hired undocumented immigrants to work at his golf clubs. After a group of workers was terminated on January 18, the letter notes, “some of these brave workers have now decided to come forward and detail an elaborate ploy by the Trump Organization to systematically procure cheap immigrant labor and employ undocumented immigrants—despite knowing that the documents they provided were false. In addition to this alleged criminal enterprise, the workers describe a culture of coercion, mistreatment, and instances of physical abuse.” The letter comes after a series of blockbuster reports from The New York Times and The Washington Post alleging that Trump Organization managers went as far as encouraging undocumented workers to secure fake documents and forcing them to hide during important events. The letter also asks that the undocumented immigrants who have come forward be protected, claiming that deporting them would amount to obstruction of justice.

I'm sure he has undocumented immigrants at all his clubs and his homes because it's been written about before. The cheap bastard doesn't want to pay people a decent salary. He also knows that if they're not here legally, he can be abusive to them and threaten to deport them if they every complain about anything he does to them.

The ignorant, racist orange buffoon in our White House routinely breaks laws that the accuses others of breaking.

Maybe it's time to purge the FBI of trumpers so that we can get some information on his criminal activities.
