Mexican Worker in Trump Hotel Criticizes Donald Trump’s Views
The New York Times ^ | 08/19/2015 | Liz Robbins

Ricardo Aca knew he could be fired. But he wanted the camera to roll anyway.

Mr. Aca is shown holding his cellphone watching Donald J. Trump call Mexicans who enter the United States rapists, criminals and drug dealers. Then, Mr. Aca calmly tells his story.

A slight 24-year-old Mexican immigrant who graduated from high school and community college in Queens, Mr. Aca works at the Koi SoHo restaurant, which leases space inside the Trump SoHo hotel. He made a short video with a filmmaker friend and posted it on Facebook on Monday, where it attracted more than 300,000 views in 24 hours.

“I was offended because this is not who we are, this is not who I am, this is not anybody I know who is an immigrant,” Mr. Aca said in an interview on Tuesday, wearing his Mexican national team soccer jersey.

As are all Mexicans who have entered the United States against our laws the individual who is the subject of the article is warm, rich and deep. He has proper relations with his family and is kind to his dog. That being said he will be the same person in Mexico where he should be taken immediately.

When you employ thousands it’s not too hard to find somebody who doesn’t like the boss.

When you employ a half dozen it is not to hard to find someone who doesn't like the boss.

On Monday, shortly after the video was posted, the Koi payroll department called Mr. Aca to bring the renewal of his work permit that he said he had forgotten to submit in December.

He's 8 months behind on his paperwork. Ok, ICE, here's an easy one to pick up.

it doesn’t make me proud every day to go to work under his name

Except he works for the restaurant that rents from Trump. Lies and spins and more lies from The Slimes. Trump was right about not trusting the media.

Tell this to those who don't have a job because an illegal took it or to those who were injured or raped by your illegal friends.

Illegals are criminals. Every one of them has, and continued to, violate our country's laws and, likely, committed additional crimes or took welfare from our country, again raping us.

Screw you, Aca.

From a 2011 GAO Report Criminal Alien Statistics: Information on Incarcerations, Arrests, and Costs

The number of criminal aliens in federal prisons in fiscal year 2010 was about 55,000, and the number of SCAAP criminal alien incarcerations in state prison systems and local jails was about 296,000 in fiscal year 2009 (the most recent data available), and the majority were from Mexico.

Didn’t the NY SLIMES go to soup kitchens and bowery hangouts to find a few Blacks that were against BO?

Reporting today is like the old Tass reporting of a ???? game where US won and Russia came in 2nd (2 teams in the tournament)
STORY LINE
Team Russian finished near the top while Team USA came in next to last.
OR
Man drowning and Trump ‘walks across the pond to rescue him’ with headline reading:

Another apparent lie from Trump
He obviously can’t swim.

Mr. Trump made his comments about Mexicans months ago. Has the NYT spent all these months unsuccessfully trying to find a Trump employee who has a bad thing to say about his boss? It says MUCH about the muck the NYT will dig into, to get ONE corroborating comment to their meme. It also speaks to how he must treat his employees, that it took so long to find ONE employee to talk 'dirt' on the boss.

The NY Slimes. When you think they've hit bottom on sleaze, they grab a shovel and dig deeper. Staying classy Lacking any class as always, the NYT.

He’s not a Trump employee and the Times knows that. Of course, it’s readers on the Upper West Side who are too stupid to understand that. Of course, if he’s an illegal, and talking to the press, his restaurant boss may fire him for alerting the world he hires illegals...

Reminds me of the scene in DR STRANGELOVE when the Russian ambassador reveals the USA had a super secret doomsday machine. “Our source was the NEW YORK TIMES!”

Well HOLY $HIT!!! ANOTHER NYTs NON STORY

Mr. Aca works at the Koi SoHo restaurant, which leases space inside the Trump SoHo hotel.

He DOES NOT work for Trump, but rather for a business that leases space from a Trump company.

The NEW YORK TIMES... the DESPERATE LEFT in action showing early signs of $hitting its pants..

And is this worker legal?

According to his own admission from the link on post 13 no he isn't. No sympathy or patience from me.
