Really? I believe there have been hiring laws in place for decades that when you hire someone you must see documentation proving they are eligible to work in the US. Now, unless Trump Org. was assisting them with fake documents, which would not surprise me a bit, then I call bullshit on this statement. It's not like Trump Org. was some little mom and pop grocery store.
