Eric Trump takes aim at media, ‘incompetent’ lawmakers after reports of firings of undocumented workers at father’s golf club

Eric Trump lashed out Monday at the media and called on Congress to fix the nation’s immigration laws following news reports that about a dozen longtime employees of one of his father’s golf clubs were recently fired because they are undocumented. ... The crackdown at National Golf Club in Westchester County, N.Y., came amid the protracted partial government shutdown as the president was seeking funds for a border wall intended to keep out such immigrants. ... The Washington Post broke the news on Saturday, and NBC News later followed up with a report.

In his tweets, Eric Trump, who, along with his brother, Donald Trump Jr., has day-to-day control of his father’s businesses, suggested the story was minor compared with other events in the world.
“To think that a dam broke in Brazil (with 37 fatalities & many missing), Venezuela is in shambles, and so much more, yet @NBCNews leads with another anti-Trump story (that among 10,000+ hospitality employees, a few admitted to giving fake IDs to gain unlawful employment), just shows how pathetic the #MSM has gotten,” Eric Trump wrote, using an abbreviation for mainstream media.
....
He did not spell out what fixes he would like to see.
