Clinton slams Trump’s hypocrisy in using undocumented labor to build D.C. hotel

LAKE WORTH, Fla. — As Donald Trump marks the grand opening of his new D.C. hotel, Hillary Clinton sharply criticized him for relying on undocumented labor to make the project cheaper.

“Today he’s in Washington, D.C., to open a new luxury hotel. While the hotel may be new it’s the same old story,” Clinton said at a rally at Palm Beach State College. “He relied on undocumented workers to make his project cheaper.”

Trump’s new downtown D.C. hotel was built thanks to the efforts of a large workforce that included Hispanic construction workers, including some workers who say they are undocumented, The Washington Post reported.

“We know he’s used undocumented workers. And that’s one of the things he’s run his campaign on, about deporting undocumented workers.”
