The company I used to work for hired illegals. A lot of companies in Austin did. But now -under the Trump administration - that's a no no.

Are you saying that this became illegal only since Trump began savaging refugees?

[Austin Ellen]

Huh? What refugees? What country do you live in?

She's not the sharpest knife in the drawer YR. She went from unemployed for 8 years under Obama to wealthy in one year of Trump. Pretty big credibility gap

[Austin Ellen]

Yes, and he told me to tell you it's ok to be gay.
I support gay rights.

That's gotta be a real drag. You and your boyfriend can only communicate on here. I support gay rights.

Methinks One's loyalty is with the revolutionary guards of Iran

And Support for Iran and radical Islamists makes it very clear.

That's where it currently lies. It could change any day. Or not.

If Trump himself wants to pursue it, he can do so himself, but I bet he doesn't. That is the reason for my answer to Levianon.

That's a pretty funny series of posts from someone with the nobility to say they won't and never have done business with someone who has ever declared bankruptcy.

Bankruptcy is legal isn't it?

But you don't seem to have a problem with doing business with those who actually break the law with the hiring of illegals, and while you haven't admitted directly to it, it seem you have had your "share" of those working "illegally" for you as well.

It's afternoon for me already, but overall doing well thank you. I'm simply waiting for your next gaffe in your noble business lifestyle.

I find it interesting that those who continue to denigrate Trump end up excusing the exact the same behavior that he did as a business man. Yet then throw the hypocritical card at him for speaking out against it as POTUS.
