Donald Trump’s golf club hired undocumented migrants who cleaned his toilet and made his bed, report says
- Undocumented migrants working at Trump National Golf Club told ‘The New York Times’ that Donald Trump was a big tipper, but they were tired of his ‘insults’
- The staff say supervisors helped them evade detection, although the report said there was no evidence Trump of his executives knew of the workers’ status
Undocumented migrants have been working for US President Donald Trump’s luxury golf club in New Jersey, despite his denunciation of illegal immigration and insistence on jobs for Americans, The New York Times reported Thursday.
Victorina Morales, 45, from Guatemala, has been a housekeeper at the Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster since 2013, making Trump’s own bed and cleaning his toilet after being hired with phony documents, the Times reported.
She and former employee Sandra Diaz, 46, who is now a legal resident, told the Times there were other undocumented workers at the club, and that supervisors took steps to help workers evade detection and keep their jobs.
The Times said there was no evidence that Trump or executives from his family’s Trump Organisation company knew about their immigration status.

“We have tens of thousands of employees across our properties and have very strict hiring practices,” said a Trump Organisation spokesperson in a statement.
