politifact went digging to see if trump is right. sot katie sanders/politifact.co m @ 2:18 ((it wasn't a huge concrete tall, long wall that proposed but it's more like a fence. there would be some gaps)) trump's proposed "wall" would be concrete, at least 35 feet high, and stretch close to 1000 miles. politifact finding since clinton did vote for a barrier fence but not exactly the wall trump envisions.. rating trump's debate claim as... half true. sot clinton from debate @ 25:42 (("he used undocumented labor clinton hitting back minutes later during the debate with that claim. clinton said her immigration plan would bring undocumented immigrants out of the shadows and protect them from employers like trump. sot katie sanders/politifact.co m @ :51 ((we found that he hired a contractor that in turn employed 200 or so polish workers who were not documented citizens)) records show an out-of-court settlement followed. questions remain as to how involved trump was in the construction process and hiring of the 200 polish laborers.. undocumented labor helped
