This is a profile of Ricardo Aca, a young undocumented immigrant who works in a Trump Hotel and who has decided to speak out against Trump’s comments about Mexican immigrants.
I may have an accent, but I’m not stupid.

This Undocumented Worker Works For Trump And Wants You All To Know Something
When it comes to top hypocrites in the world, Donald Trump is probably very high on that list. If you don’t believe me, let’s just take a gander at his latest comments about immigrants coming to the United States illegally.
Trump has said he’s going to deport all immigrants who are here illegally. Calling them “rapists,” “murderers,” “criminals,” “drug dealers,” seemingly thinking all who come here illegally are terrible people, so we need to deport them. He’s playing into his base of xenophobic bigots, who hate everything non-white, and would likely build a wall around their homes to keep everyone out if they didn’t need to get food every once in a while. Trump has even gone so far as to now say that children, who were born in the United States, but to illegal immigrants, must be deported. So, Constitution be damned, I suppose.
However, here’s the problem with Trump’s “illegal immigrant” hullabaloo — it’s a heaping pile of hypocrisy.
Trump actually employs several undocumented workers, and one who works at the Trump Hotel in New York City is speaking up against the Republican candidate. He knows the risk that comes from speaking out, but he also knows he needs to say something.
Ricardo Aca, from Pueblo, Mexico, works in the restaurant at the Trump Soho building. He works very hard while still lving with his family in Brooklyn, and fully owns that he is NOT a murder, drug dealer, or rapist. And as far as the Republican adage that “Mexicans are lazy,” Aca works three jobs, while his step father works two jobs. They work hard to try to get ahead and have a better life. Something that used to be knows as “the American Dream.”
Aca has also gone to college and earned his associate’s degree in commercial photography, and is now using his skill to show everyone what immigrants are really like. He is proud to be Mexican, and he is proud of the work he has done.
