IMMIGRATION/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT/TRUMP BUSINESS: “The Trump Organization has fired at least 18 undocumented workers over the past two months, The Washington Post reported Monday. [2-4-19] The purge of workers reported by the Post followed repeated reports about President Donald Trump’s company employing undocumented immigrants despite the President’s near-constant focus on the issue of immigration. Trump’s son Eric confirmed to the Post that the firings took place. The newspaper reported the dismissals took place across five New York and New Jersey golf courses. The Trump Organization said in a statement to CNN that the company would institute ‘E-Verify at all applicable properties and will continue to take swift and appropriate action where necessary.’ The statement said the company ‘initiated a comprehensive review of employee eligibility across all of our properties’ last month after reports about undocumented workers and fired employees who had ‘provided falsified documents.'”
