Donald Trump is fond of saying that he was the first to talk about a border wall or fence, but back in 2013 when Ted Cruz was pushing an amendment to create it, Donald Trump was actually meeting with a bunch of illegal alien activists to boast about the many illegal aliens who work at his resorts.
...at his New York penthouse office atop Trump Tower, he convened a meeting.
Trump ushered in a pair of men - one to talk about the awards and a Democratic strategist who works with nonprofits - and three young DREAMer activists. The DREAMers were on a tour sharing their stories with those less likely to support them, like tea party supporters.
"You know, the truth is I have a lot of illegals working for me in Miami," he told them, using the term for undocumented immigrants those in the meeting found offensive. "You know in Miami, my golf course is tended by all these Hispanics - if it wasn't for them my lawn wouldn't be the lawn it is; it's the best lawn," Pacheco recalled Trump saying.
Trump said he knew the work of undocumented people is what makes his golf courses and hotels great.
Make America Great! That's Donald Trump's cry. And in Donald Trump's mind, it's illegal aliens who make his resorts great. Then Trump addressed the issue dear to their hearts: amnesty for illegal aliens:
"You've convinced me," Trump said to the delight of the activists in the room.
"We all smiled at each other and said, 'Wow, we did it, we got this guy to change his mind,'" Pacheco said.
Trump was "convinced" to support citizenship for illegal aliens. That's old news, and Trump-bots will claim he has changed his views in two short years. But what is news is that Trump has admitted that he employed large numbers of illegal aliens and undoubtedly still does today, in 2016. How can he credibly run for President on a platform of deporting illegal aliens when he currently, today, employs large numbers of them? Why has he never tried to verify the identity of his employees? If he is content employing large number of illegals, how sincere can he be about deporting them?
Trump's like a bank robber running for president of a bank while still employing robbers to go out and rob banks.
In fact, Trump, who talks incessantly about "bringing jobs back to America" has repeatedly tried to import foreigners to take jobs away from Americans.
GOP 2016 frontrunner Donald Trump is staking his campaign on promises to bring jobs back to America, but a new analysis of U.S. Labor records shows that Trump’s business have imported more than 1,100 foreign workers on temporary visas since 2000. ' One of Mr. Trumps companies, the elite Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida, applied to import 70 foreign workers to serve as cooks, wait staff and cleaners this month alone, Reuters reported Friday.
Nine companies that are majority-owned by Mr. Trump have sought to bring in foreign waitresses, cooks, vineyard workers and other laborers on temporary work-visa programs.
Why couldn't Trump fill those jobs with Americans? Because he wanted the cheapest labor possible, and he cares nothing about giving jobs to Americans.
Trump has said he wants to deport illegals and "bring the good ones back". From his own personal business dealings,which continue to this very day, it is clear that he is a hypocrite who cares nothing about the illegal alien problem as long as it helps him line his pockets. I think he will bring all the illegal aliens back. A man who has changed political parties at least five times, leaving the Republican party twice before, cannot be trusted.
“TRUMP did not hire them. I would guess that Trump hired contractors, who then hired sub-contractors, who then hired illegals. As the client, there is only so much Trump could control.”
Sooooo, Trump couldn’t control everything as president as he’s led us to believe?
E-verify is okay. It’s part of Cruz’ plan that he’s outlined.
I got this far in reading and have to stop to congratulate you.
You have responded to childish insults with factual replies and without responding in kind.
I’ve wanted to respond in kind to those people but have sworn off doing so. I got into that in the last election and it resulted in my having to leave FR for a time, which I now regret.
Not responding but your post says it all about the quality of your responses. (or is that responding?)
“Cruz has no vision - he copies what others say. Get real. He has no leadership qualities - you are so delusional - I hope you get help with your mental disorder.”
Thank you. I, too, left after Obama was re elected. Didn’t even watch the news for two years. I hope we are not going to fail this election, as well, but it will take a miracle. I’ve never seen this level of deception. I guess Obama has done even more damage than I realized.
Cruz might have outlined it as you say, but Trump started using E-Verify when it first came out in 1996...where was Cruz then?
He served as Solicitor General of Texas from 2003 to 2008, appointed by Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott.
He was not involved with E-verify as he wasn’t employing people. Cruz is 25 years younger than Trump so it isn’t exactly relevant to compare what they were doing in 1996, is it?
Yes it is....because Cruz is a ‘politican’ and Trump isn’t but has done a lot more with people than Cruz has makes a lot of difference...
