Mar-a-Lago has obtained more than 800 foreign workers under the H-2B visa program since 2006.
.
During the presidential campaign, Marco Rubio attacked Trump over the practice.
.
“When you bring someone in on one of these visas they can't go work for anybody else," Rubio said during a debate in Detroit. "They either work for you or they have to go back home. You basically have them captive, so you don't have to worry about competing for higher wages with another hotel down the street. And, that's why you bring workers from abroad."
.
The use of temporary foreign workers also translates to savings on raises and benefits.
.
The DNC said Friday: “After making hiring American workers a consistent theme of his campaign and administration, even anointing this week as ‘Made In America’ week –the latest news out of Mar-A-Lago makes it clear that Donald Trump puts his business interests above everything else, including hard-working American families and workers. Trump’s properties claim there ‘aren’t enough Americans to hire’ – seriously? Instead of basking in hypocrisy, the Trump properties should be examples for the business community and create good-paying American jobs.”
