LOYALTY IS A ONE WAY STREET, AMIGO:
The president's sons entrusted their private hunting retreat to a caretaker. He was working in the country illegally. (Joshua Partlow, Nick Miroff and David A. Fahrenthold March 6 , 2019, Washington Post)
Quintero, 42, was so trusted by the Trumps that he had not one but two jobs working for the family. He was a greenskeeper at the Trump National Golf Club Hudson Valley in Hopewell Junction, N.Y., where he would work eight-hour shifts on weekdays. Then he would put in five more hours each day as a contractor at the 171-acre hunting retreat called Leather Hill Preserve, which serves as a private weekend playground for President Trump's sons and the property's co-owners.He also was an immigrant from Mexico who had crossed the border more than two decades ago and was working illegally in the United States.In January, Quintero lost his golf course job after 18 years of employment -- part of a purge of undocumented workers from Trump's businesses amid revelations that the company relied on illegal labor for years, well into Trump's presidency. Gone, too, was his side job at the hunting retreat."All of the years you give them, and they just let you go," Quintero said in a recent interview at his home in Poughkeepsie, N.Y. "They do not say, 'Let's do something, let's try to help you.' They simply said, 'Your documents are not valid,' and that is it."
