The decision to use the E-Verify program is the first acknowledgment that Trump’s private business has failed to fully check the work status of all its employees, despite his claims otherwise during the 2016 campaign.

I am so glad that I am not an American

RepCummings AOC RashidaTlaib will OversightDems begin investigating this or will RepMaxineWaters and House Financial Services investigate this?

SERIOUSLY. HE KNEW HE HAD AND HAS HAD ALL ALONG ILLEGAL ALIENS WORKING FOR HIM. BUT HE REFUSES TI EVEN ADDRESS IT.

What is the average income of trump’s employees and also of his supporters? What percentage of his supporters wait for that mothers day check around the 1st of the month to get their fix?

What bullshit. TrumpCorp knew damn well what they were doing when they hired undocumented workers.

When employees provide bought, fake documents? Our immigration laws must be fixed.

It’ll probably need to fire 80% of its staff

Based on faked IDs. You never tell the whole story. Therefore FakeNews

It did and he knew about it , It was cheap labour , I have copies of what he tweeted about it. Excuss was he couldnt get americans to do the shitty jobs . I bet he didnt know that the merchandise he was flogging of was made in other countries by sweet shops.

Pure bs. They knew exactly what they were doing.

EricTrump IvankaTrump DonaldJTrumpJr realDonaldTrump🤥🤡 Now A Priority! A family of incompetent fraudsters & misfits🤨😡

Now that they have been caught they are going to start E verifying thier employees. I wouldnt be surprised if Eric also called ICE to have these people that they have exploited arrested. But you know that they are going to try and be quite about it so it doesnt make them look bad

Sure

Starting...now. No wait, starting.........now.

Good all companies should

For someone who does nothing but disparage immigrants.. Little, to little, to late...

BS, employers who hire undocumented immigrants are well aware of what they’re doing! Federal law is an I9 before employees work! Ignorance is no excuse and this is not a new federal law!

He knew. His employment policies like...forever. Hire people you can under pay and can’t fight back. He just Gor caught.

Hey lookie there, MAGA. 45’s been ... stealingyourjobs Cuz he doesn’t want to pay full wages and benefits. (Stands back; waits for racists to make excuses for this criminal who exploits undocumented people because they are afraid and desperate, I.e. cheap labor)

fakenewswapo fakenewsmedia

They know

Glad to hear!

This is the sort of thing that could have been announced during the 2016 campaign.... Now it is just criminal... Literally criminal

Uh huh!

Fix it now that we got caught.

This tweet heading sounds like a coverup. Trump org suddenly discovered he had undocumented workers? What a joke.

There's no excuse for not using e verify. Part of the problem with undoc immigrants are employers who fail to do so & feds that don't hold employers accountable

I thought ALL U.S. corporations were required to fill out Form I-9 for every employee hired to verify their citizenship or immigration status before actually starting work. Trump Org. didn't do this? They broke the law?

Beyond the Pale.

Maybe check at all?

Please come with something better, you threw away these people like they meant nothing, because to Trump they didn't, he finish using them and now that hes been exposed he tossed them away.

'Expand' from zero to ?

Need to check for fake IDS that they get on the black marke

Who the hell are you going to hire to clean dirty hotel toilets 😡😡🐸

How many guest worker visas did Trump, Inc request per sight in last 3 years?

That's a great move!!

Not only did they hire them, they knew about it. They also did it at the New Jersey casinos for years!

Dumb and dumber!!

They were here on work visas. Fake News. If true it would have came out during campaign and destroyed it.

As long as Dumb and Dumber will be checking, no need for the wall. This family knows no bottom realDonaldTrump DonaldJTrumpJr EricTrump

Jimmy Carter had to sell his peanut farm.

He’s only been campaigning on this for 2 years and now prez for another 2, and NOW someone wakes up at the Trump Organization? Total BS. They just see how long they can get away w not paying proper wages. Trump’s a fraud and will always be a fraud. The hypocrisy is never ending

But he hates immigrants

We need laws to prosecute employers who knowingly exploit immigrant labor. That should start with Icky Eric and his father’s ongoing criminal enterprise.

They say they’ll do that, but they won’t really.

Well...just doing what was apparently ok to overlook at the time just like everybody else. Why follow the rules when nobody else is...js Laws are now being enforced!! MAGA

Trump busted again for gross hypocrisy.

Like they didn't know

Too little, too late for our “stable genius” micromanager

What happen to America first?

All of a sudden they are concerned about this. 🤔🙄

The award for The Worst “Person” (or fruit 🍊) in the World goes to... realDonaldTrump!!! U suck at life and go to Finland and clean their forests. Or is it “forrests”? 😐🤦🏻‍♀️👎🏼

Sure they are. Only. After. They. Got. Caught.

He didn’t know right? Laughable !!

He knew

To all future potus candidates: clean your house b4 you run.

When employers start getting hit with bigly fines for not following the law, then we will see more immigration reforms.

What some won't do for politican image! Trump Properties is guilty of hiring undocumented employees at all their properties and at their winery!! They need to be fined like any other business!

Really? Now plan to expand background checks. like every other business is required to do using E-Verify. About time they do what everybody already does. It is the peak of hypocrisy that this business serving the wealthiest of Americans cheats by hiring undocumented employees?

I’m scared to think about Melania’s immigration status.

Now! Just now!! WTF! Trump at his two faced best!!

Trump=fail

To late for that don't you think

Good - It’s against the law to hire illegals-if these idiots on here tweeting about this negatively want to change the laws then go to the Congress & complain but quit condemning people who get caught up in hiring people who are using someone else’s SS card & look legitimate

Too little to late! We’re not fooled by the sudden interest!

O dear. Breaking news ! This is so important.

And you're damning them for this? EVERY employer should utilize that resource.

Good

Little late! More evidence of lack of leadership.

'Follow the pain!' Reporters could - SHOULD - use this rule to evaluate the direction, depth, timing, and even wisdom of their research regarding undocumented workers. That rule will be even more important as the 2020 political campaigns ramp up - or down. Pain changes elections.

bolt432

They know just got caught with hands in cookie jar, nothing in Trump buineses or foundations are above board! Almighty buck rules resign

Better late than never but only cos they got caught

The Trumps are such assholes.

And what about every other Hospitality Business? Do you care about them too? Or just “getting” our President⁉️

Trump didn't give a damn til he was found out. Ignore what he says, watch what he does.

'Trump’s company plans to start checking employees’ legal status'. . . there, it's fixed now.

Makes a blip of a headline but Impotus always reverts to his old ways, especially if he can pinch someone else's penny.

Nah. They’ll just transfer all employees with darker skin to ‘subcontractors ‘ and make it their problem.

...far too late.

Expand. 😂🤣😂🤣😂 Expand implies checks were being done.

Why not just build a wall around his company.

Major problem in enforcement is companies don't properly do the checks .

Audit

Wouldn't it just be easier for Trump to build a wall around his companies so caravans of illegals couldn't climb over it and apply for jobs?

one of many reasons Trump hates the media... transparency is costing him money! TrumpLies LiarInChief Individual1

Sure they do

Oh joy, we just put a bunch of undocumented workers under a microscope. All hail the left.

Why didn’t they implement E-Verify prior to being caught Truly not surprised at all by efforts to skirt the law.

After two years?

I thought you were supposed to do that anyway. Called an I-9 form.

What? He didn’t know? Well gasp I tell you. Gasp!

it's been well known that he hired undocumented immigrants... they just now think it's bad for them

Grifters gonna grift as long as they can grift!

Illegals Trump “America First” model.

it's too late for that my question is when aredBibbthey gonna be prosecuted

I thought he divested from the first crime family's businesses

Lol like it’s complicated
