When Marco Rubio attacked Donald Trump on the debate stage this week for using undocumented Polish workers to build Trump Tower, the developer shrugged it off.
"He brings up something from 30 years ago," Trump shot back. "It worked out very well. Everybody was happy."
But a look into the history of the Trump Tower, the crown jewel of the real-estate mogul's empire, reveals the beginnings of the 68-story building were, in fact, rooted in the back-breaking labor of 150-odd Polish immigrants — most working illegally, some without full pay.
"It's constructed on the blood, sweat and tears of the Polish Brigade, as they were known in the industry," said attorney Wendy Sloan, who sued Trump and his contractor for union pension violations on the project. . .

‘I know of no other builders currently running for President who are falsely pretending to be tough on illegal immigration.’
Cute.
‘Personally, I believe Trump’s negatives are exponentially higher than Rubio’s.’
That’s very interesting. Rubio said it THIS MONTH — not enforcing immigration law. He still thinks it’s too militaristic. [Right there, linked from my first post.]
That’s the whole ball of wax. If we don’t enforce immigration law, we’re done. We’re back to Gang of Eight. You call that a lie. So I repeat ...
17 Jan, 2016
Sunday on NBC’s ‘Meet the Press,’ Republican presidential candidate Senator Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) said, ‘I don’t think you’ll round up and deport 12 million people. It’s clear now more than ever that we won’t be able to do anything on people here illegally until we first prove to people that illegal immigration is under control and America is safe.’
[Might as well still be Gang of Eight. And that’s a superior president than Trump according to Cruz.]
‘Trump just insists that they touch back on their home soil first before being expedited right back in.’
He supports exactly what was in my second post. Sounds like a GREAT plan. Sessions was involved with it BTW.
Oh, and Rubio wants to triple H-1Bs ‘that would decimate women and minorities’ [and everyone else].
And Cruz thinks that this is a better president than Trump — the guy who triples H-1Bs and who says enforcing the law is too militaristic.
“Cruz stopped the Gang of Eight bill. That is his record.”
And he really put a gaping hole in his record by speaking so highly of a man who THIS month sounds as Gang of Eight as ever.
That might be significant information regarding this issue.
FRegards ....
A thousand illegal OR LEGAL hispanic immigrants = eventually about 700 voters for Democrats, 1,000 demands for permanent special rights in academic admissions and hiring, inroads for corruption, and narco cartels, non-trivial increase in drunk driving and sex crimes.
A thousand muslim immigrants, illegal, legal, refugee, illiterate or PhD = 1,000 acts of treason by congress and the executive branch.
” There is an undocumented foreign worker sittin’ in da white house”
I’ll give you an AMEN!!! and let’s set the record straight here,......... EVERY GOP Congress-person is SOooooooo , terrified of this ILLEGAL PRESIDENT that for over 7+ years now, they have just put themselves to become a total disgrace to the American People, and they are nothing short of a complete laughing stock to the rest of the World’s Leaders. TRUMP will Change all that when he boots them right through the uprights!!!
Good!
You never know common sense may come back to you and some other Trump people.
Sounds like smart business. He should have hired twice that many and really hurt the unions. Trump is just what America needs rather than these do nothing politicians.
Pray America wakes
Good!
You never know total common sense may come back to you and some other Trump people.
Gee, so that decision written in the case that said Trump knew they were illegals was wrong? Trump even admitted the were illegals used on the project. He claimed at first e didn’t know, but his guy running the project knew and he was in contact with Trump on a regular basis every week.
If you look at the transcripts, Trump denied knowledge. The lower court held that he knew, but the Second Circuit Court of Appeals ruled while he didn’t know that the sub hired illegals, he should have known.
The case was remanded back to the Supreme Court (which is the court of first jurisdiction in NY) and was ultimately settled.
Sorry, the case was in Federal Court, so it would have technically been the Southern District of New York and then the 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals, not to be confused with the Appellate Division First Department in NYC.
“”It worked out very well. Everybody was happy.”
I’m betting it came in on time, and under budget.
Works for me.
I think the Polish Immigrants were happy to be working. At least they weren’t out selling Drugs, and Invading Homes, and Stealing, Raping, and Killing, people like the Immigrants of today prefer to do........all Day Long!
Let’s face it Trump didn’t hook them to a chain gang and force them to show up everyday. Trump did them a Favor and that was the deal. Be here now, or ask why is Trump the only person in the de-bait that ever hired anyone?
I have a co worker who made $3.50/hour in the late 80’s/early 90’s while living in Syracuse, NY working in a safe factory. And that was a lousy union shop as he pointed out.
Boo freakin hoo. The Chinese dealt with much worse when they were brought to build the railroads. I bet those Pollacks are still here.
The contractor hired these workers and Trump settled it when it was brought to his attention.
I just checked and the total number of jobs created by Cruz and Rubio is zero. So they probably never had a labor dispute issue.
Boring. Times have changed
Finally! The $100,000 question.
More than I made in the army as a senior NCO.
Tisk, tisk. Somehow I doubt that 150 Polish workers from 30 years ago will decide or even influence this election.
After all, just 2 years ago Cruz was trying to amend Rubio’s Gang of Eight bill so that it could pass the House, and that doesn’t seem to turn off his supporters. Thankfully the Dems running that show were TOO STUPID to take him up on it.
I’ll save you Cruz supporters the embarrassment of posting the video, yet again.
