Half the winter employees at Trump's Westchester golf course were present illegally in the United States. The Trump Organization seems to have violated US immigration laws on a serious scale – and it only began to clean up its act 2 years into Trump's presidency https://t.co/nWZbrSS9LS

The workers say @realDonaldTrump paid them $8/hour to operate heavy equipment. No benefits.

A licensed, legal operator would have cost him $51/hour, including benefits. https://t.co/ltCdo2qBhF
Yes. These workers did present fraudulent documents.

Trump Org says its checks didn't show they were fraudulent, tho the Trump club did not take the most easily available step to improve those checks — enrolling in e-Verify. https://t.co/GJjnNeCEvM
We found this by FOIAing the last 13 years of calls for service at Trump's club, from the Bedminster PD. They gave us a stack of paper six inches thick. 90 percent of it was false-alarm calls.

This was in the other 10 percent. Our ace stringer Kim Kavin found it yesterday. https://t.co/ukKXJDn3eP
If we'd known about it then, we definitely would have reported it then.

This came to light b/c — after a @nytimes story last year profiled an illegal worker at Bedminster — @trump Org began firing its illegal workers en masse, driving them out of the shadows. https://t.co/NWYdwPZKLz
.@realDonaldTrump's biz has indicated they didn't know they had illegal workers until late last yr.

But in 2011, a Bedminster cop working a hit-and-run found a Trump worker using a fake name & papers. He told the club's head of security. 7 yrs ago. https://t.co/IzI1aVEMVr pic.twitter.com/fG9KnFKTZi
EXCLUSIVE: Undocumented workers at yet another Trump golf club lose their jobs as his company scrambles to contain the fallout of NYT revelations. https://t.co/o4fBBkSEhE

Trump lied repeatedly in 2016 (big surprise) by saying he used E-Verify on his properties. In truth, he did on only a couple of them. It was good enough for 750,000 other American businesses, but not his. Typical. https://t.co/wweHfDJIMK
