Why claim its an opinion piece from the author "48 current and former Trump workers interviewed by The Washington Post" Yes, that 48 current and former Trump workers were interviewed by The Washington Post is likely a fact.

Beig poor in the US is way better than being poor in most places. Really? I'm 65 years old and my mistrust of the government is fairly new. Being poor and a U.S. citizen may be way better than being poor in most places. But being poor and an undocumented alien? How much guff does it take to stuff a right winger before they say "enough". They still need to make money to eat. They can't get by without earning anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's another fact for you, from the link. "Trump’s history with illegal labor goes much further back: In 1980, the future president employed several hundred undocumented immigrants from Poland to demolish a building on the future site of Trump Tower in New York. Trump denied knowing that, but a judge later ruled that he “should have known.” Trump settled a lawsuit regarding the Polish workers in 1998, paying $1.38 million, according to news reports." 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have a construction company that has thirty crews working with about 60 full time employees and 900 1099s, two of the 1099s on one crew hired by one foreman are illegals, does the foreman go to jail?

I think 36 months to get them all deported starting with the ones with the least seniority first. They can apply for a work visa in their home county three months after they're deported. Of course, anyone not working can be deported right away yes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which part? Every month you deport about three percent, and (after three months) about three percent could apply for a work visa. Why is that so radial?

The US economy has been surging so fast that it has been difficult to slow down. Raising interest rates from their unprecedented low levels to slow down the economy may cause a recession, but recessions happen, they are not the end of the world. There have been four recessions under Republican Presidents since 1980, including a near depression under Bush Jr. There have been two under Democratic Presidents. The economy recovered every time, though it was a close call with Bush's economic meltdown. Thankfully Obama brought us out of it. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
