Donald Trump’s demand for a border wall shut down the government. At the same time, his golf club in New York was firing undocumented workers. Hear from Margarita Cruz a former housekeeper fired last week from the Trump National.
@partlowj and @Fahrenthold spoke to about a dozen former employees of the course who were fired last week after the Trump Organization discovered they were undocumented workers. Here's their story. washingtonpost.com/politics/donal…
We spoke with Margarita Cruz. She had worked as a house keeper in the club for about 8 years. She regularly saw members of the Trump family and told us how Donald Trump once gave her a $50 tip after asking her what she thought of a newly installed carpet. 
Cruz and her co-workers claim her managers at the course knew that many of the workers from the groundskeepers to cleaners were undocumented.
And finally a behind the scenes look at the dogged @partlowj and @Fahrenthold in action. Two of the most dedicated reporters I've ever worked with.
On the day Cruz was fired her co-workers thought it was strange only undocumented workers were called in to the office. Listen to this remarkable recording she made of her meeting with an human resources rep. from the Trump Organization.
