Anyone remember the stories about Trump's Golf Course/Resort getting raided during his first term? Where there were a notable amount of groundskeepers and domestics employed that were illegals? Including Trump's personal maid who had taken care of him for nine years? AND at that same locations, the FBI found boxes of blank social security cards and a small printing press to print the individuals info on the counterfeit card? Something that I bet you could have found at ALL of his golf courses/resorts if the FBI had looked....

And down in Florida where there were countless domestics, kitchen help, grounds maintenance, etc that Trump had working on H1B? Visas and he was requesting more?
Visa's that were intended to be used for Scientists, etc??????

Things you will never see: A group of ICE, or Homeland Security, having a road block/check point, at the entrance or exit from a gated community.....
Or for that matter at meat packing plants, or large construction sites, or fields of Corporate owned produce farms, or major Hotels, or, or, or, or......

And contrary to the commentator who talked about them "not paying taxes" etc.......It has been my experience that money is withheld from the illegal worker's paychecks for Fed taxes, State Taxes, local taxes, Social Security, Workers Comp. etc. (The employer uses a fake SS number knowing that it will take months for the government to confirm). A lot of employers deduct these, but don't send the money to the Government, just keep it for additional profits. If one of these individuals gets hurt on the job, they tell one of the other employees to take him to some Hospital ER and just drop him off. There have been many reports of employers who actually don't pay them on payday, and fire them.......nothing happens because the worker can't exactly go to any authority about it.....
They often work jobs that the employer/Corporation can't find any American Citizens who want to work for the low wages.
For my entire life, I have always heard the Corporations say that they "can't find anyone who wants to work", when in reality the statement should read: "We can't find anyone who wants to work" , FOR THE LOW WAGES WE WANT TO PAY THEM"...........
