Trump's model agency violated US immigration laws
Canadian model Rachel Blaze and five more immigrant girls earned $ 1600 and lived in a tiny New York apartment full of bunk beds.
She said that all the girls had to work illegally, as the agency could not provide them with proper visas.
“They're honestly the darkest agency I've ever worked for,” said Blaze, who signed a three-year contract with the company as a teenager in 2004. “It was the most terrible apartment I've ever lived in. It was like modern slavery."
Disclosures that appeared after the investigation Mother Jones, prompted critics to call Trump, who promised to begin the deportation of illegal immigrants within an hour after taking office, a hypocrite.
Mother Jones Publication told us that Trump Model Management had placed its models in bunk beds in three bedrooms in an apartment in the East Village.
In the apartment, a narrow staircase led down to the basement, where models lived in two small rooms, filled with bunk beds: two in one room, three in the other.
There was also an extra mattress that lay near the stairs. At times, more 11 people lived in the apartment.
Two other former models of Trump, who lived in an apartment with Blaze, told everything on condition of anonymity, so they were given the pseudonyms Kate and Anna.
"We were forced into these little spaces," Kate said. “The apartment felt like a sweatshop.”
According to the company, obtained by Mother Jones, Trump Model Management has recruited models from 14 for years from abroad.
“I was the oldest in the house,” said Anna. “The bathroom always smelled of burnt hair. I will never forget this place. I myself learned to write in Russian: “Please clean up after yourself.”
Rachel said that she tried to choose a bed near the window at street level in the hope of breathing fresh air. One day she woke up in the morning because something was splashing on her.
“Maybe it’s raining today,” the model thought. But when she looked out the window, “I saw a one-eyed monster peeing on me. What a glamorous industry.”
All three models said that they came to New York in the hope that their dreams of a career in the modeling business would come true. However, without working visas, they were constantly afraid that they would be caught.
Anna also told Mother Jones that the Trump agency trained them on how to deceive customs officials about why they came to the US. She said she received specific instructions from a Trump agency official: "If they ask any questions, tell them you're just here for meetings."
Trump has repeatedly been accused of having arrived at the expense of foreign labor, often illegal.
