Seems Donald Trump needs the cheap labor to pick those grapes for his wine brand. I didn’t even now there was a Trump brand wine, but there is. And Trump is housing 19 ‘immigrants’ to pick the grapes at the winery between March and October. Did they come in through Trump’s proposed wall by any chance??

The winery plans to house 19 immigrant workers from March to October of this year, according to visa records. At least 14 of these workers could be assigned to share a single five-bedroom home on the property, a separate filing states. While that sounds cramped, the home—a 4,000-square-foot Colonial with a screened back porch and large yard—apparently meets occupancy guidelines, according to the Albemarle County housing department.
Trump has defended his use of seasonal workers, including at Mar-a-Lago, saying his companies cannot find Americans to take these jobs.
Meanwhile, Trump Winery is making preparations to deal with the flood of customers. An employee said next September and October are expected to be its busiest months in history.
The vineyard recently remodeled its tasting room to accommodate larger crowds. Outside, four John Deere bulldozers—with “Trump” written in big letters on the side of each—worked to expand the parking lot to make room for hundreds of additional cars.
