On Friday, The Washington Post reported that there are entire communities of former Trump Organization employees in Central America, people who once worked illegally for President Trump’s sprawling resort empire as undocumented immigrants, often with their supervisors’ knowledge. In Beaumont, Tex., in November 2015, Trump told a rally audience that he ensured his business wouldn’t hire undocumented employees. From 2013 to 2016, the Trump Organization sought more than 500 visas for foreign workers. Trump, apparently to mask what his own organization was doing, was advocating that those who, like him, employed undocumented immigrants, face steep fines or criminal charges. Voters who took Trump at his word that he’d used the system to ensure he wasn’t being hypocritical about employing undocumented immigrants can now be more confident in 2020 that it’s actually true.
