I’m not a Trump supporter, but this charge is complete hooey. Politifact, hardly a Trump supporting site, looked into it...
Our ruling
Rubio said Trump “hired from Poland and he had to pay a million dollars or so in a judgment.”
It was Trump’s contractor, not Trump himself, who hired 200 undocumented Polish workers to demolish a building to make room for Trump Tower in Manhattan. Trump said he didn’t know. The lawsuit sought $1 million in damages, and a judge ruled that Trump had to pay $325,000 plus interest.
But the case was appealed and before it was retried, Trump settled the case out of court, so it’s unclear how much he ended up doling out.
Rubio’s statement is partially accurate but missing that context. We rate Rubio’s claim Half True.
...I’d say “half true” is being generous to Rubio. Aside from the fact that the fault lay with the contractor and Trump was sued because he was the one with deep pockets, Rubio claimed Trump paid a $1 million fine, as if it were a criminal punishment. It was actually a civil damage award of an undisclosed amount, and since Trump was appealing a $325,000 judgment, I doubt that he settled for over three times that.
God knows, I don’t want Trump to be the nominee, but this particular attack is so lame that when you know the details, you just shake your head that you wasted your time reading about it. Rubio should’ve left this alone, or at least not encouraged people to Google it. If you do, you find out what a big nothingburger it is.
A thousand illegal OR LEGAL hispanic immigrants = eventually about 700 voters for Democrats, 1,000 demands for permanent special rights in academic admissions and hiring, inroads for corruption, and narco cartels, non-trivial increase in drunk driving and sex crimes.
A thousand muslim immigrants, illegal, legal, refugee, illiterate or PhD = 1,000 acts of treason by congress and the executive branch.
Sounds like smart business. He should have hired twice that many and really hurt the unions. Trump is just what America needs rather than these do nothing politicians.
Pray America wakes
“”It worked out very well. Everybody was happy.”
I’m betting it came in on time, and under budget.
Works for me.
I think the Polish Immigrants were happy to be working. At least they weren’t out selling Drugs, and Invading Homes, and Stealing, Raping, and Killing, people like the Immigrants of today prefer to do........all Day Long!
Let’s face it Trump didn’t hook them to a chain gang and force them to show up everyday. Trump did them a Favor and that was the deal. Be here now, or ask why is Trump the only person in the de-bait that ever hired anyone?
Boo freakin hoo. The Chinese dealt with much worse when they were brought to build the railroads. I bet those Pollacks are still here.
The contractor hired these workers and Trump settled it when it was brought to his attention.
I just checked and the total number of jobs created by Cruz and Rubio is zero. So they probably never had a labor dispute issue.
Boring. Times have changed
Tisk, tisk. Somehow I doubt that 150 Polish workers from 30 years ago will decide or even influence this election.
After all, just 2 years ago Cruz was trying to amend Rubio’s Gang of Eight bill so that it could pass the House, and that doesn’t seem to turn off his supporters. Thankfully the Dems running that show were TOO STUPID to take him up on it.
I’ll save you Cruz supporters the embarrassment of posting the video, yet again.
