‘Modern slavery’ of vulnurable young girls: Canadian says she modelled illegally for Trump

A Canadian former fashion model who worked illegally in the United States for Donald Trump’s modelling agency accuses the Republican presidential candidate of hypocrisy in his platform against illegal immigrant workers, and of complicity in the “modern slavery” of vulnerable young girls.

“His business runs and makes a lot of money on illegal workers,” said Rachel Blais, 31, a Montrealer who now lives in Cologne, Germany, where she is studying German while teaching French and English.

In 2004, she had already done fashion photography work in Milan when she was scouted by Trump Model Management and went to New York, falsely declaring to U.S. border agents that she was a tourist.

She said she was instructed by Trump Model Management not to bring her portfolio of photos on these trips, lest it be discovered in a customs search and threaten her cover story of tourism.

She's had lots of years to actually bring action against him legally if she has proof of her now twelve-year-old claim. Anybody can say anything......can you prove it is the point here. Where are the other models coming forward to make the same claim? How about all those 'children' under 18 now that they are well over the age of filing claims or even their parents who were 'complicit'? Sorry.....JP.......this is a non-story of crap again that someone out there (the article writer or even the model) are hoping for their 15 minutes of limelight that isn't going to stick.

'claims' and actual proof of these claims, JP....as you well know. Now you are just 'retweeting' lies and slander against Trump's wife and taking one woman's 'claim' of an illegal activity when she's offered up NO proof of her claim at all. Until and unless that happens, I suggest that this is a non-story since at this point it's fabrication, much like what happened with the stories Harry Reid spouted from the Senate well about Romney not filing taxes and that he murdered a woman.

And UNTIL/UNLESS there is a trial AND conviction there is NO guilt?

Be careful HOW you respond.

what I say, JP. YOU are the one who has posted a 'claim' without proof and then added to it by including Trump's wife in that claim. The model herself has never filed a complaint or claim against Trump in the legal system, so there is only her word that this occurred. And you are 'guilty' of repeating a 'story' of which there is no proof to back it up.

I'm done with your silliness here.

I posted a link to a story of what someone has claimed and linked it to a past history that is similar.......Melania TheRUMP .

And YOU are the one that said SHE "lied", without "proof" that she was lying.

And you are 'guilty' of repeating a 'story' of which there is no proof to back it up.

No proof to back it up?...Only because it hasn't been released yet?

Why aren't YOU waiting for "proof to back it up"/a trial AND conviction, before YOU Tar and Feather Hillary?

That's why I told you to Be careful HOW you respond.
