Acting U.S. Customs and Border Patrol Commissioner Mark Morgan on Sunday had to explain why sweeping immigration raids havent affected President Donald Trumps companies despite multiple reports of those companies hiring undocumented immigrants.
The Washington Post reported on Friday that even as Trump cracks down on immigration through harsh measures, Trump Organization itself currently has undocumented immigrants working on its construction sites.
CNNs State of the Union host Jake Tapper pointed out to Morgan that despite immigration agencies major increases in raids, including the ones in Mississippi last week that led to a record 680 arrests, thereve been zero raids at Trumps businesses.
It seems like you guys are turning a blind eye to this crime being committed by the Presidents own companies, Tapper told Morgan, who recently served as the head of the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency before he was tapped as acting CBP commissioner in July.
Morgan said hes never known anybody in law enforcement to turn a blind eye to someone thats committing a crime.

I would bet that Dump is the one who ordered the managers to find ways to get fake documents for the "illegals" because he has a lot more leverage over workers who don't have legal rights.

It seems like the people working there get punished but not the wealthy executives

(14,489 posts)If all the undocumented workers were removed from America tomorrow, most of the nation would come to a slow crawl within a few months. And, it will cause inflation.
Major construction labor work crews, plant maintenance crews, roofers, landscapers, hotel cleaning crews, restaurant workers, food processing plants, crop pickers....the list is very long.
Where's tRump's plan for replacing all these workers at low wages?
Let's see if any of his project managers get arrested like they did the chicken plant managers.....
