Trump's Flintstones

wing2000 said:

“Los Picapiedras,” Spanish for “the Flintstones”, are Trump's "in-house" construction crew that worked nearly two decades at his winery and golf courses.

President Trump “doesn’t want undocumented people in the country,” said one worker, Jorge Castro, a 55-year-old immigrant from Ecuador without legal status who left the company in April after nine years. “But at his properties, he still has them.”

Castro said he worked on seven Trump properties, most recently Trump’s golf club in Northern Virginia. He provided The Washington Post with several years of his pay stubs from Trump’s construction company, Mobile Payroll Construction LLC, as well as photos of him and his colleagues on Trump courses and text messages he exchanged with his boss, including one in January dispatching him to “Bedminster,” Trump’s New Jersey golf course.

Doesn't matter. He's er Trump, and anyway it doesn't matter. Stuff on the internet.

I wouldn't be surprised if Trump tried to deny knowing who these undocumented workers are if he was confronted about it, despite the evidence like pay stubs, text messages, and photos with him.

What a surprise, coming after the revelations about all the undocumented workers over the years at Mar-a-Lago.

It makes him even more hypocritical because of his furious rants about undocumented immigrants.

Who cares?
Thought you guys wanted them up here.

Was Trump there when this guy was hired?

If so?
You might have something?

If I was a owned a business which I could see employed many Latinos (no, I might not have personally hired them, but I could see them around landscaping and busing dishes, etc. at my resorts) and a POTUS who wanted to rant about illegal immigration, I would say to my underlings, "Make damned sure none of those guys are illegals." Otherwise, I would deserve any trouble I got into about it.

What happened to the buck stops with the boss?

None of the owners of the chicken plants have been arrested either.

It's almost as though corporate interests enjoy keeping everybody's wages low, but have successfully turned workers' rage and legal accountability upon immigrants.

Employers with hundreds and hundreds of employees. My brothers fall into this category. They don't do the hiring.

If he can't manage his properties, how can he manage a country?

Perhaps so. But if either of them runs for President on an anti illegal immigrant ticket, I hope they have the sense to make sure that none of their employees is here illegally. Donald didn't.
