While Trump was telling his fans at his rallies that he would crack down on immigration as President, stories that his model agency brought teen girls Into the country illegally were being published. Some described conditions and economics similar to stories that have been published for years about sex trafficking. This led to Senator Boxer's request that a Federal investigation should be launched.
All of this happened just two months ago, but did not go anywhere in the halls of Congress, the mainstream press or the TV news networks. Perhaps that's because this story would taint many: politicians, the wealthy, the fashion industry, and the entertainment industry, to name a few. This was implied when Trump's "campaign manager Kellyanne Conway told Chris Matthews that some of the congressmen who've complained about Trump's sex remarks were known for "sticking their tongues down women's throats uninvited.'" (Collins, NYT)

"Two other former Trump models spoke with Mother Jones anonymously about their experiences, alleging that the agency never obtained work visas for them for their modeling assignments in the U.S. Trump's agency, the models allege, even coached them on how to fill out customs forms and how to deceive officials about why they were visiting the U.S.
Once in New York, the models said they were crammed into small bedrooms with bunk beds, sharing an apartment with 11 or more other women. Trump Model Management recruited models as young as 14 — one of the former models said she was "by far the oldest in the house at the ripe old age of 18."
The former models also allege that the agency exploited them financially, charging them exorbitant fees for their cramped housing, as well as for expenses such as trainers, beauty treatments, travel, and administrative costs. Financial statements provided by Blais showed that she was charged nearly $1,600 a month for a room she shared with five others — by comparison, a nearby studio aparment in the same time period was being advertised for only $1,375 month. The fees charged to the models were high enough that oftentimes it outstripped their pay."
