NEW: Undocumented workers get the job done at President Trump's golf club. My story about who makes his bed, waters the greens and more. Right here: nyti.ms/2E5ovaE
A few months ago, an undocumented immigrant named Victorina Morales decided that she wanted to share her story about working for Donald Trump
I met Victorina and another immigrant, who had worked at the Trump National Golf Club in Bedminister when she was undocumented, named Sandra Diaz. Both women were hurt by the president's disparaging comments about unauthorized immigrants. Both said they understood the risks.
I visited both women in their homes in New Jersey, where they have lived for several years, and conducted interviews with them. They liked their work at the beautiful golf club, they said. They described Mr. Trump as a tough taskmaster who was kind and generous w tips.
Ms. Morales, a Guatemalan with little schooling, said she will never forget when he helped her wipe windows she couldn't reach because she is short. He gave her $50. Ms. Diaz got $100 after Mr. Trump checked the dust in a room and expressed satisfaction with her work.
But they decided that now was the time to tell their stories about the contributions that immigrants make to the Trump business.
