Undocumented worker fired from Trump's Bedminster club invited to State of the Union
Washington (CNN)An undocumented worker fired from President Donald Trump's New Jersey golf club will be in attendance at Trump's State of the Union address next week after being invited by a Democratic congresswoman.
Victorina Morales, a Guatemalan native, worked for years at the Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster, New Jersey before describing herself as an undocumented worker to The New York Times in December. She was ultimately terminated from her job and currently faces deportation.
Morales was invited to Trump's State of the Union address by Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman, D-New Jersey, which the congresswoman's office and Morales' attorney confirmed separately to CNN.
The Washington Post first reported the news of the invitation.
"I hope that in his State of the Union address, Donald Trump will finally acknowledge the real face of immigrants in this country women and children fleeing violence, law-abiding, tax-paying people who would do almost anything to be Americans," Watson Coleman said in a statement Wednesday. "And if he can't, I've invited Victorina so that he may look her in her eyes to tell his lies to a familiar face."
