Purge of undocumented workers by the president’s company spreads to at least 5 Trump golf courses

By Joshua Partlow and David A. Fahrenthold February 4 at 7:01 PM

President Trump’s company has fired at least 18 undocumented workers from five golf courses in New York and New Jersey in the past two months, part of a purge set in motion after a series of reports about the clubs’ employment of workers without legal status.

Eric Trump, the president’s son, confirmed the firings to The Washington Post on Monday. Those dismissed included three undocumented workers at the Trump National Golf Club Colts Neck near Montrose, N.J., and three more at the Trump National Golf Club Philadelphia in Pine Hill, N.J.

Another was dismissed from Trump National Golf Club Hudson Valley in Hopewell Junction, N.Y., Eric Trump said. Eric and his brother, Donald Trump Jr., have day-to-day control of the Trump Organization.

The Washington Post could not independently verify Eric Trump’s figures. There have also been firings at the Trump course in Bedminster, N.J., which his son did not address.

And if they do they will have to pay workers more. And those undocumented immigrants were probably hard workers who will be hard to replace in terms of productivity.


But please proceed dumbasses.

So,who are they going to hire to fill those jobs? That is what a good reporter should be able to find.

Not going to happen,might involve asking a question that might raise some ones hackles.
