Trump’s Housekeeper Is Undocumented

December 6, 2018 · 2:53 pm ET · Leave a Comment

“During more than five years as a housekeeper at the Trump National Golf Club, Victorina Morales has made Donald Trump’s bed, cleaned his toilet and dusted his crystal golf trophies. When he visited as president, she was directed to wear a pin in the shape of the American flag adorned with a Secret Service logo,” the New York Times reports.

“Because of the ‘outstanding’ support she has provided during Mr. Trump’s visits, Ms. Morales in July was given a certificate from the White House Communications Agency inscribed with her name.”

“Quite an achievement for an undocumented immigrant housekeeper.”
