The Trump Organisation, responding to claims that some of its workers were in the US illegally, said on Wednesday that it will use the E-Verify electronic system at all of its properties to check employees' documentation.
A lawyer for a dozen immigrant workers at the Trump National Golf Club in New York's Westchester County said recently that they were fired on January 18.
He said many had worked there for a dozen or more years.
Workers at another Trump club in New Jersey came forward last month to allege managers there had hired them knowing they were in the country illegally.
"We are actively engaged in uniforming this process across our properties and will institute E-verify at any property not currently utilising this system," Eric Trump, executive vice president of the Trump Organisation, said in a statement provided to The Associated Press.
"As a company we take this obligation very seriously and when faced with a situation in which an employee has presented false and fraudulent documentation, we will take appropriate action."
"Our employees are like family but when presented with fake documents, an employer has little choice."
