Investors in Donald Trump's Failed Mexico Resort Speak Out (KPBS News)

Donald Trump may have dug himself into a hole in Mexico. Literally.

An aborted luxury real estate project that his company started a decade ago then quickly abandoned in Baja California after digging a few foundation holes could be coming back to haunt him in the form of a criminal complaint that was filed before Mexican prosecutors last Friday. In the citizen-led complaint, Trump is accused of fraud, unpermitted construction, and tax evasion, among other crimes.

It also includes new allegations that Trump worked on the project here without a proper work permit. In other words, Trump might have been an undocumented worker in Mexico.

“We are almost positive that Mr. Donald Trump came to do business in Mexico without a work visa,” said former congressman Jaime Martínez Veloz, who filed his complaint against Trump with Mexico’s Attorney General’s office (PGR), which will decide whether to proceed with the case. “What we are saying is that he came as an undocumented immigrant. He came to our country to do business without getting the right permits, without paying the taxes that are required by law… he has been talking in the United States about upholding order and rule of law, but what he came to do in Mexico was to violate order and the rule of law.”

Martínez Veloz, who works for Mexico’s ministry of the interior, said he can find no evidence that Trump ever requested or received a work permit when he came to Mexico to promote his project, which he promised would transform the area into the next Cabo.
