Donald Trump
(click here) says he "can't guarantee" that all of the workers he employs have legal
status in the United States, and warned that if he were to discover any
illegal immigrants working for him, "We would get rid of them
immediately."
In an interview
with CNN's Anderson Cooper on Wednesday, the billionaire businessmen and
Republican presidential candidate addressed questions about a recent Washington Post report
that said there are illegal immigrants working at the Old Post Office
Pavilion construction site in Washington, which Trump is converting into
a luxury hotel....
This interview with Anderson Cooper, Donald Trump was very engaged in the topic and well spoken to any accusations. He is able to navigate the press and the GOP. He also has real ideas.
There was another interview today with MSNBC and I have to say the same occurred. He was engaged and in this instance very engaging of the topics discussed. I think Kathy Tur did a great job, but, I bet she never interviewed anyone like that before.
In the Anderson Cooper interview Anderson made an extremely important statement about the workers cited by The Washington Post. Anderson stated, "...several of the men mostly hailed from Honduras, Guatemala or El Salvador..." and Anderson goes on to quote the article in that these men were from war torn countries, etc.
These are the people most able to get court rulings that would recognize the hazards living within their countries. They would be asylum seekers. If they are working for contractors they would be earning a good wage so they could probably afford an attorney to help them move to a legal status.
The children that came to our southern border were from the same countries. The living conditions due to the drug cartels are horrible. It is these people the USA should be worried about. Mr. Trump should accept the fact these people need compassion and not simply shipped back home to possibly be killed. I am sure these men are capable of a good work ethic and are hoping to help their families facing the conditions they left.
The USA has a responsibility to help people living in terrible conditions and in cases like this there needs to be a relationship with these countries and a resolve to end the violence, but, there should also be paths for these people as well as our Dreamers born in the USA to citizenship. I hope Mr. Trump will appreciate that fact, too.
We can all agree the circumstances in San Francisco is completely objectionable. The facts coming out are sincerely upsetting. Now we know the gun belonged to an agent with the Bureau of Land Management. Does anyone ever wrap a gun in a tee shirt? I would think any government employee would not be this reckless. But, at any rate, who in the Bureau of Land Management has regular contact with people entering the USA illegally?
The truth of the matter is if it weren't for Donald Trump we wouldn't be having this conversation and finding out some really odd facts. The questions are many and the end of the path isn't even in sight.
The man has something to say. He needs to say it. He also stated, "I read the article myself." Wow. A Republican that actually reads current events. Interesting. He isn't meeting with cronies 95% of the time begging for money. That means he is probably one of the best informed Republicans in the field. He doesn't have a staff calling the shots either. That should be obvious. So much for being politically correct.
