Trump’s commerce pick just fired an undocumented household worker before his confirmation hearing
Donald Trump’s nominee for commerce secretary admitted during his Senate confirmation hearing Wednesday that he just fired an undocumented household worker who could not provide proof that they could legally work in the country.
Wilbur Ross, who is a Billionaire private equity executive, said during his Senate Commerce Committee that when he originally hired the employee the person provided what looked like a valid driver’s license and Social Security card, however, after Ross was nominated by Trump, he asked all his household staff to provide such documentation again.
“When I was getting ready for this hearing I wanted to recheck all our present and former employees. This one employee was unable to and therefore was terminated,” Ross said.
