SUBSCRIBE Dec. 7, 2018 / 1:52 AM GMT By Kate Snow Two years ago, when Donald Trump was running for president, he proudly declared that he employed no undocumented immigrants in the construction of his grand Trump International Hotel in Washington, D.C. That doesn't appear to be true for some of his other properties. When Victorina Morales went to work in 2013 as a housekeeper at Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster, New Jersey, "I told them that I don't have papers, I don't speak English and that I was an immigrant," she said Thursday in an interview. "They said, 'No, it doesn't matter,'" she said. Morales, 45, left Guatemala and illegally crossed the U.S. border in 1999, according to The New York Times, which she and a second woman who used to work at the golf club, Sandra Diaz, approached to tell their story in an article published earlier … [Read more...] about Trump’s New Jersey golf club employs undocumented immigrants, women say

Not so. As it turns out, the number of undocumented immigrants in Florida dropped 26 percent from 2007 to 2016, according to new figures from the Pew Research Center. In 2007, the Florida population included 1.05 million undocumented people — by 2016, that number had shrunk to just 775,000."Among states with the largest unauthorized immigrant workforces, California, Florida, Illinois, New Jersey, and New York had lower numbers in 2016 than in 2007, and … [Read more...] about Despite Rhetoric, Florida’s Undocumented Immigrant Population Is Actually Shrinking
