$4 an hour in 1983 money isn’t too shabby.

CatherineofAragon, Isara, and VinL all figured it out and gave up. Why are you still holding out?

Haha, you smell of desperation!

We would’ve heard about this MONTHS AGO at the start of the campaign if this were true.

Cruz and Rubio are bringing up a story from 30 years ago, and then adding their campaign lies on top.

I’m sure every major employer in America has employed illegals at one time or another. It’s pretty much impossible to determine status in any case. Besides, employers are vested by their investors to keep labor costs as low as possible. It’s GOVERNMENT that is supposed to keep these people OUT and the border SECURE.

Not developers.

You would think from this PROAGANDA, that Trump personally didn’t pay workers. Total BS, he paid the contractor their bid, they paid their workers, they paid their workers slightly above the minimum wage.

NBC is really willing to step low these days. Still mad that their most successful show for ten years had to end when its creator decided to run for president. A golden opportunity to explain labor laws, union demands, comparative illegal and immigrant statistics from 38 years ago to now, and the kinds of extortionate law suits that cheat the victims and reward the lawyers, naming names; but instead they go for the backstabbing.

That’s why Trump paid the Million Dollar fine for “hiring illegals from Poland”.

Another story about TRUMP. Most voters hear TRUMP blah blah blah...TRUMP blah blah blah...TRUMP TRUMP TRUMP. When they go into the voting booth there is only going to be one name stuck in their head. Three guesses what it is. Trump. Trump. Trump.

Do you know of the specifics of employment laws 30 years ago? Do you compare him with other builders during that same time?

Employment laws at the time were similar as they are now. Hourly employees are to be paid for hours worked. I know of no other builders currently running for President who are falsely pretending to be tough on illegal immigration.

And does it matter to you that Cruz thinks Rubio would be a better president than Trump?

No, it does not matter to me. Personally, I believe Trump's negatives are exponentially higher than Rubio's. On the issue of immigration, I see no net difference between Trump and Rubio. Both support amnesty. Trump just insists that they touch back on their home soil first before being expedited right back in.

Cruz is throwing immigration under the bus by saying that, as noted in my first post.

Oh stop lying already. Cruz is saying no such thing. Cruz stopped the Gang of Eight bill. That is his record.

Trump is the only one with the guts to deport his own underpaid workers at his businesses

He will part the Pacific Ocean (as Moses did the Red Seas) to get our jobs back from China,

He will stand by in CA (where he wins the GOP primary) at the coast, with his staph and three piece suit from China, and demand ‘Let our jobs go” and the Pacific sea will part and those darn Chi-coms will begin marching back here with our plants , that they built there in China,

And Trump will make them pay a toll to come in too.

Trump is magic.

What was odd about them?

Contradicts how?

Right here.

Nationwide e-verify. This simple measure will protect jobs for unemployed Americans.

It is clear from the account with Trump Tower that Donald Trump had no interest in verifying the legal status of his foreign construction workers.
