Their account of what it's like to work as a model in New York including that they were not paid adequate wages and were housed in cramped, dorm-like apartments could be said about much of the industry and do not apply only to foreign models. But President Trump has made an anti-immigration campaign an early hallmark of his presidency. He is focused on those who are working illegally in the US and foreign workers who could be displacing Americans. The women Business Insider spoke with fit both descriptions.
