It’s a courageous act that puts a well-deserved spotlight on Trump’s racism and hypocrisy toward immigrants.

Two immigrant women have gone on the record with The New York Times to admit they were undocumented when they worked at one of Trump’s golf clubs — and to speak out against Trump’s dehumanizing treatment of immigrants during his presidency.

The Times conducted extensive interviews in Spanish with Victorina Morales, who crossed the southwest border illegally in 1999 from Guatemala, and Sandra Diaz, a native of Costa Rica who is now a legal U.S. resident but says she was undocumented when she worked at the Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster, New Jersey, from 2010 to 2013.

Their story is remarkable. Trump, of course, routinely demonizesimmigrants — especially undocumented immigrants, and especially people from Latin America. And as the Times pointed out, he has also bragged about verifying his workers’ documents electronically to make sure he “didn’t have one illegal immigrant on the job.”
