Morales stated that throughout her employment at Trump National Golf Club, she periodically received tips of $50 or $100.
Response from the Trump Organization
The piece from the Times has rapidly made headlines. Since then, the Trump Organization came out with their own public statement and rebuttal. It reads as follows:
“We have tens of thousands of employees across our properties and have very strict hiring practices. If any employee submitted false documentation in an attempt to circumvent the law, they will be terminated immediately.”
Morales expressed confusion that Trump did not “figure out” that she is an illegal immigrant based on her not speaking English. She also noted her awareness that deportation may follow as a result of her going public.
Immigration in America
The preceding piece from the Times comes as people in this country debate one another over immigration. At this time, many Central American migrants are attempting to seek asylum in the United States. President Trump has already stated that members of the caravans will not gain admission into the states.
