Donald Trump is having an embarrassing week, with even the very white golf community distancing itself from him and his racist remarks about Mexican immigrants being “rapists” and “criminals.” In a neat and predictable bit of irony, the Washington Post reported Sunday that some of the workers finishing a Trump hotel in Washington D.C. may be undocumented.
“In light of Trump’s comments,” the Post reported, some of the largely Latin American workers at the downtown D.C. construction site said they were worried for their job security “while others simply expressed disgust over the opinions of the man ultimately responsible for the creation of those jobs.” Some of the men interviewed said they had crossed the U.S.-Mexico border illegally before obtaining citizenship or visas; others said they remained undocumented.
The Trump Organization employs thousands of people—at construction sites, at hotels, at golf courses, in high rises, as well as at the Miss USA, Miss Teen USA, and Miss Universe pageants. It can’t be easy right now working for Trump, particularly if you’re someone who finds his comments repellent or who is being personally attacked and impugned by them.
