The number of Hispanic immigrants who claim to have worked without legal documents for the Trump Organization continues to grow.
Univision News interviewed seven undocumented employees who claim to have worked producing Trump wine in the state of Virginia, putting in long hours from sunrise to sunset, without overtime pay.
"I've been here for six or five years,'' said one of the workers who claims he was hired after presenting false documents that were not verified.
The immigrant, who asked not to be identified to avoid reprisals, took Univision on a tour of the vineyard, and proudly showed the field where he works every day. ... Thanks to his labor and that of other immigrants, the Trump brand produces 40,000 cases of wine a year.
