Trump’s Mar-a-Lago Obtains Visas For 70 Foreign Workers


Here's the deal:

**Trump's Mar-a-Lago asks permission to hire foreign workers

**required by law to seek America workers first (the law requires the running of two (2) newspaper ads)

**they place two tiny newspaper ads w/o phone or contact info -- they did what the law required to recruit American workers.

**now they will hire foreigners.

70 people who voted for Trump in FL now must feel real stupid.

The new visas will go to 20 foreign cooks, 35 waiters and 15 maids and housekeepers for the 2017-18 tourist season, according to the U.S. Department of Labor. They’ll earn hourly wages from $10.33 (for the cleaners) to $13.34 (for the cooks). The temporary visas allow them to work from October 2017 to the end of May 2018.

A hallmark of Trump’s presidential campaign and a stated push of his administration is that U.S. companies should hire American workers. He has criticized Ford Motor Company, Carrier Corp. and others for moving manufacturing jobs to Mexico. Mar-a-Lago was applying for the foreign worker visas this July when the president launched “Made in America Week.”

Trump said at the time, “We believe jobs must be offered to American workers first. Does that make sense?”

Over the years, many products sold by the Trump Organization have also been made in overseas factories. Ivanka Trump’s clothing line is exclusively manufactured abroad.

Foreign workers won’t just be laboring at Mar-a-Lago this winter. Trump National Golf Club in Jupiter, Florida, was granted visas for 10 waiters and six cooks, and Trump National Golf Club Westchester in Briarcliff Manor, New York, obtained visas to bring in eight waiters.

Suckers...

Trump supporters will defend this hypocrisy to the death. If anyone else had done it, they would hang them.

It truly makes no sense for maids and cooks and waiters or waitresses....no sense at all????

I know up here in Maine for the summer months, hotel owners could not find enough chambermaids to clean all the hotel rooms during tourist season, so for a while when we first moved here, they were getting chambermaids from Jamaica during the summer on visas to fill the jobs, but the hotel owners began advertising the maid jobs at $15 an hour and they found American help for that money....
