WINGDALE, N.Y. One morning last May, Eric Trump sent a text message to the caretaker of the shooting range he and his brother own in Upstate New York. The weather was getting warmer, and it was time to plant crops to attract deer that the Trumps and their friends could hunt.
Juan how are the fields coming along, Eric Trump wrote to Juan Quintero. They need to be planted in the next week or so in order to make the season. Hope you are great.
Im working in it, Quintero replied in his limited English.
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 Trumps sons and the propertys 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.

Report the Trump sons to the authorities for hiring undocumented workers.

Of course they have committed so many crimes their whole lives they will say that they do not know what is legal and what isn't (entiltlement and privilage is a heavy cross to bear).
