Oh boy -

What Donald Trump Knew About Undocumented Workers at His Signature Tower

He has long denied knowingly using undocumented workers to demolish the building that would be replaced with Trump Tower

In the summer of 1980, Donald Trumpfaced a big problem. For six months, undocumented Polish laborers had been clearing the future site of Trump Tower, his signature real estate project on Manhattan’s Fifth Avenue, where he now lives, maintains his private offices and hosts his presidential campaign.

The men were putting in 12-hour shifts with inadequate safety equipment at subpar wages that their contractor paid sporadically, if at all. A lawyer for many of the Poles demanded that the workers be paid or else he would serve Trump with a lien on the property. One Polish worker even went to Trump’s office to ask him for money in person, according to sworn testimony and a deposition filed under oath in a court case.

Why not? What's with this determined ignorance? Not knowing everything is what keeps corrupt used car and snake oil salesmen in business.

Polish workers lacked safety equipment like hard hats, according to the testimony of several former workers. A large piece of steel fell on the arm of one worker, Albin Lipinski, breaking several bones and permanently disfiguring his fingers.

But it was a dispute about money, not safety and long hours, that would later cause Trump so much trouble. Five

Republicans on the USMB are probably wondering, what's the big deal? As long as they weren't Americans who cares what happened to them? They shouldn't be here anyway.

And I right? Is that how USMB Republicans feel?

Trumpsters don't care that Trump hired illegal workers.

Trumpsters don't care that he imports foreign workers to do jobs in America.

Trumpsters don't care that he has his product made overseas.

Because Trumpsters believe he is bringing jobs back for Americans.......LOL
