2 More Immigrants Say They Worked for Trump Despite Lacking Legal Status (Miriam Jordan, Dec. 7, 2018, NY Times)

One of the women said that she was allowed to submit fraudulent documents by the employee who interviewed her for the job.

The two women's accounts came a day after a Guatemalan woman, Victorina Morales, told The New York Times that she has worked without legal status as a housekeeper at the club for the past five years. She said she had decided to come out of the shadows because of President Trump's negative public comments about undocumented immigrants and what she said were even more demeaning words directed at her from her supervisor at the club.
