Number of undocumented immigrants in USA falls to 12-year low, researchers say

Yes, let's keep this in perspective. Trump committed a federal felony by hiring illegal immigrants.

 

"My whole town practically lived there": From Costa Rica to New Jersey, a pipeline of illegal workers for Trump goes back years

www.washingtonpost.com/politics/my-whole-town-practically-lived-there-from-costa-rica-to-new-jersey-a-pipeline-of-illegal-workers-for-trump-goes-back-years/2019/02/08/8cdbc1dc-2971-11e9-97b3-ae59fbae7960_story.html?noredirect=on&utm_term=.aacb77664202

The Washington Post spoke with 16 men and women from Costa Rica and other Latin American countries, including six in Santa Teresa de Cajon, who said they were employed at the Trump National Golf Club Bedminster. All of them said that they worked for Trump without legal status — and that their managers knew.

The former employees who still live in New Jersey provided pay slips documenting their work at the Bedminster club. They identified friends and relatives in Costa Rica who also were employed at the course. In Costa Rica, The Post located former workers in two regions who provided detailed accounts of their time at the Bedminster property and shared memorabilia they had kept, such as Trump-branded golf tees, as well as photos of themselves at the club.

Their descriptions of Bedminster’s long reliance on illegal workers are bolstered by a newly obtained police report showing that the club’s head of security was told in 2011 about an employee suspected of using false identification papers — the first known documentation of a warning to the Trump Organization about the legal status of a worker.

Other supervisors received similar flags over the years. A worker from Ecuador said she told Bedminster’s general manager several years ago that she entered the country illegally.

Eric Trump, a son of the president who runs the Trump Organization along with his brother Donald Trump Jr., declined to comment on the accounts by the former workers. Bedminster managers did not return requests for comment.

The company’s recent purge of unauthorized workers from at least five Trump properties contributes to mounting evidence that the president benefited for years from the work of illegal laborers he now vilifies.

 

If the number of illegal immigrants is at a 12-year low, how can you define that as "a national emergency?" The real national emergency is our lack of adequate defenses against a cyber-attack. I'm reading a very interesting book entitled "Cyberstorm" by Mathew Mather. CyberStorm by Matthew Mather

Take a look at it. It will scare the heck out of you. With all the cyber-attacks and hacks going on I think it's about to move out of the realm of science fiction into reality.

 

Or did.

 

This is essentially the level of political discourse in America today.

 

And citizens who have hired illegal immigrants will ALL be prosecuted.

 

I was been a manager of engineers with MS's and PhD's (12 years). I know that with limited resources, you have to prioritize them. There is no comparison between the so-called immigrant emergency and the looming cyber-attack crisis.
