12/30/19: Holy sh*t! The Trump Winery in Virginia fires at least seven employees who lack legal immigration status.
Omar Miranda, who gave his name, and a second worker who refused, both told reporters they had worked at Trump Winery for more than a decade. Miranda noted that employees had finished the harvest season, which meant 60-hour work weeks, sometimes picking grapes under floodlights.
(Something
tells Mr. Blogger that the Trump Winery wasn’t paying overtime for these workers.)
According to the Washington Post – “Fake News” to all Trump fans – but a paper that contacted the Trump Organization for comment – the Trump Winery “has long relied on a couple dozen immigrants – primarily from Mexico. Those workers arrive legally year after year, on seasonal work visas, living in a dormitory on the winery property during the harvest.” But it was another group of year-round staff that got the axe just before the end of the holiday season.
So, let’s recap:
1. Trump can’t find American workers to do the grape-picking.
2. He’s not willing to pay a wage that would attract them.
3. He takes a chance and
hires Mexicans.
And we all know, with few exceptions, Mexicans who come here are “murderers” and “rapists.” Trump said so himself.
Over
the past year, the Post has spoken with at least 49 former Trump
employees who lacked proper immigration documentation.

Few Americans are interested in picking grapes for poor pay. (Not a Trump property shown.) |

IN OTHER NEWS, Vladimir Putin invites President Trump to come to Moscow next spring, to celebrate the anniversary of the victory against Germany, during World War II.
You figure the two leaders can discuss better relations and also plan for the 2020 U.S. election.
If
Trump does attend, he can watch a big military parade. Putin can also provide tips
on how to silence pesky critics forever.
