Trump’s company did hire undocumented workers from Poland to build Trump Tower

[guno]

Uh oh Donald



The 200 demolition workers—nicknamed the Polish Brigade because of their home country—worked 12-hour shifts, seven days a week with no overtime to knock down the old Bonwit Teller building and make room for Trump Tower on Fifth Avenue in Manhattan.

According to testimony in a protracted civil suit in federal court, the laborers were paid $5 an hour or less when they were paid at all. Some went unpaid after the contractor had financial troubles. A few never received even the paltry sum that was owed them for their dirty and hazardous efforts preceding the construction of Trump’s monument to his own wealth.

“They were undocumented and worked ‘off the books,’” Manhattan federal Judge Charles Stewart said of the workers after they became the subject of a 1983 lawsuit. “No records were kept, no Social Security or other taxes were withheld.”

"Sometime between 1979 and 1980, Trump hired a contractor to demolish an old building in midtown Manhattan to make way for Trump Tower. The contractor signed on workers from a local union and, to meet Trump’s tight deadline, also brought on 200 undocumented laborers from Poland dubbed the Polish Brigade."

Politifact: 'Trump Polish workers.'
​

Trump hired a reputable contractor to do the job, and THE CONTRACTOR hired illegal aliens off the books.

Trump had nothing to do with the hiring of illegal immigrants.

Didn't the DemWitts take down Meg Whitman in CA over a "nanny" (from a "reputable company") they claimed was illegal? Beat her like a rented mule. They will do and say anything to get hands on tax dollars.

omg take him out and shoot him. these libs. they want to pretend they are all for the illegal immigrant, until they can use them to try and hurt someone running for President. Wasn't that great Dear leader Obambam, suppose to FIX all the immigration problems so this doesn't happen anymore? oh that was another lie? oh darn

21 Questions for Donald Trump:

"7. Trump Tower was built by S&A Concrete, whose owners were 'Fat' Tony Salerno, head of the Genovese crime family, and Paul 'Big Paul' Castellano, head of the Gambinos, another well-known crime family.

"If you did not know of their ownership, what does that tell voters about your management skills?

"8. You later used S&A Concrete on other Manhattan buildings bearing your name.

Why?"

Let's pretend to accept your thesis about Trump committing illegal acts.

Now, that behind us, are you ready to move on to discussing Mrs. Rodham-Clinton/Lewinsky's countless acts of what easily might he near treason?
