As a hotel owner, Trump was, of course, pro immigrant, for the dirt cheap labor. Porters, for instance were paid with a bottle of cheap wine and slept in a shack or barn with the horses,. The best of the porters were paid $30 a week. How do I know? I worked as a busboy and waiter in upstate NY, in the Catskill Mountains, in South Fallsburgh, Monticello, Loch Sheldrake, Ellenville and Kiamesha Lake in the late 60s and early 70s when I was in HS and College. I saw this first hand. Half the busboys and waiters were HS and college kids like me; the other half were illegals from Mexico and Colombia, who worked Miami Beach in the Winter and the Catskill Mountains in the Summer. You should see the sleeping quarters. We were served second hand food. I always kept some fresh main dishes that I served for myself to eat. I had a good time. Smoked the best Colombian weed and had numerous romances with the sweetest girls who came up with their parents on vacation. I entertained them and made their stay worthwhile, a dream come true.
Oh, and I forgot to say that the reason why Monticello and the surrounding area of Atlantic City became big time ghettos is that they went into the bowery of NYC to recruit their help. |
