The reason this is relevant is because he has spent the better part of a year complaining about “illegal immigrants” who are “invading” the country. But an old video from 2013 resurfaced on Saturday that appears to show the billionaire admitting he was at one point building his small business in the country illegally, describing it as a “gray area.”

Afaik he came in legally but broke the conditions of his visa at the time (started work while still on a student visa, or something like that) . Which means once he got the proper visa, he had to lie on the application when asked if he ever did that.
