Despite his recent statements about the types of undocumented Mexicans who come over the border, and his stubborn refusal to walk those statements back as he’s seen business deals crumble, a Washington Post article on Tuesday revealed that Donald Trump may be reliant upon undocumented-immigrant labor to construct his latest real-estate development.

The Post interviewed several construction workers and day laborers working on Trump’s new $200 million Washington, D.C., hotel, and discovered that some were undocumented immigrants, afraid for their jobs in light of Trump’s announcement. Others, who agreed to be interviewed on the record, said they were once undocumented immigrants who obtained legal status, and expressed “disgust” at Trump’s disparaging comments.

“The majority of us are Hispanics, many who came illegally,” Ivan Arellano, a mason who originally came from Mexico and eventually gained his legal status through marriage, told the Post. “And we’re all here working very hard to build a better life for our families.”

Daniel Gonzalez, an El Salvadorian who was granted asylum, worried that Trump’s anti-Hispanic sentiment would jeopardize their jobs: “He might come one day and pretty much tell us to get the heck out of here.”

Others pointed out that they were endangering their lives for the construction of Trump’s hotel, and that they’d been law-abiding residents since they arrived in America. “Do you think that when we’re hanging out there from the eighth floor that we’re raping or selling drugs?” Ramon Alvarez asked rhetorically.

During his presidential announcement speech, Trump accused the Mexican government of allowing “rapists” and drug dealers across the border into the U.S., comments that prompted several large businesses—Macy’s, NBC, Univision, and Serta among them—to drop him as a partner. So far, Trump has adamantly refused to apologize.

Trump’s legal counsel told the Post that the workers were all hired by Lend Lease, one of the largest construction contracting companies in the world, to build Trump’s hotel. A spokesman for Trump told the Post that the Trump Organization never had any issues involving illegal hiring practices, and said it was Lend Lease’s “obligation” to ensure that their contractors were documented. Lend Lease declined comment to the paper.
