Trump is a hypocrite on this issue. Period. See it or blind yourself to it. Still true.

When Senator can’t support his own mother, he may hire his own mother to do work for him and will pay nothing.

What a bunch of speculative Bullshit based on nothing more than your personal feelings of Cruz (and Rubio). I say: PROVE IT!

Those foreigners were doing jobs Americans were not willing to do!

Unless of course they were paid a market wage, but that is why we need foreign workers.

A few articles have pointed out that Trump’s contractor paid his workers “under $5” but, if you look at minimum wage at the time, $2.90 in Jan ‘79 and $3.10 in Jan ‘80, the wages seem to be fair. And back then, it wasn’t unusual on a rush job to work 10hrs a day x 7 days a week. In fact, if you watch the show about the Alaska crab fleet, some occupations still do to this day - and don’t pay over time. The biggest part of the story is the union wanted over a million in ‘union dues’ for the polish brigade, and used the FBI to try to get it. (I think that was reduced to a 300K settlement and I doubt the Poles got a cut).

Some people think, oh, the contractor brought in day laborers instead of using American workers. There were American workers on the project, too. Only a small segment of the construction sector are skilled in demolition of buildings and removal of heavy debris (and I guess the Poles were good at what they did because nobody was reported as being hurt). People from other areas, still recovering from the ‘76 recession - and with a new recession looming - probably wouldn’t have left a good job in the Carolinas or Nevada for a 120 day job in NYC.

Trump made a mistake by not riding closer herd on his contractor. He made reparations. The court case was sealed. I don’t think there have been any similar labor issues with Trump. So I, personally, am not going to try a businessman a second time for the entertainment of some lawyer turned absent politician who was just discovering popsicles at the time this all happened - 40 years ago.

As to the original question about who Rubio would employ, we only have to look at his brother in law.

In other words, you being a Trump supporter have no problem with Trump hiring illegal workers.

How many illegals & foreigners would Cruz & Rubio hire if were as rich as Trump?

Is this a Polish joke?

EXACTLY - The entire state of Texas would be lucky to get 100 houses built if everyone involved had to be an American.

That fact that some people choose to ignore that cultural transformation, THAT HAS ALREADY TAKEN PLACE, is certainly not the fault of Trump - he has never been elected to a damn thing.
