If you were a more careful poster, you would READ THE THREAD before posting. Then you would have known that your short-sighted post was ALREADY refuted, further back in the thread (in Post # 122)Donald Trump
Donald Trump will gladly tell everyone of you that you are FIRED......
- Hired illegal immigrants for construction jobs on his hotel projects.
- Has hired foreign workers to work at his American resorts.
- Uses foreign manufacturers to produce Trump products
Because he doesn't give a damn about American workers.
OK here's that post again >>
The New York Times article published on the same day, was more honest than the National Trump-Basher. Here's part of what they wrote >>
"For anyone not hired, the employer must tell the Labor Department why. Among the reasons Mar-a-Lago gave: that the applicants could not be reached or were not qualified, as Mr. Trump suggested in his recent interview, and that they did not want the jobs.
That was the case for Austin L. Cohen of Delray Beach, who received a call from Mar-a-Lago and a tour of the 20-acre resort after sending in his résumé for a wait staff position that paid $10.60 an hour for at least 30 hours a week.
Mr. Cohen said that he ultimately chose to keep looking for a permanent job, and that he wanted benefits; the job listing did not mention any. “It was more like a temporary position,” Mr. Cohen said. “You work six months and then you’re out of work again. It was my decision not to take the job.”
Some applicants said they decided against working at Mar-a-Lago because, like some other private clubs, it discourages gratuities; its job listings say “no tips.” Local labor analysts say that private clubs often lose job candidates to restaurants where tipping is permitted."
Florida has a seasonal employment situation. The state is inundated with northerners and Canadians who live in Florida just during the winter months, and not many Americans want to work just for 6 months, if that long. Many apply out of desperation, but never follow through. This is common all over the state in winter.
You also have a lot of people who apply who aren't qualified, have no experience or training , and/or have criminal records (which is why they're unemployed to begin with).(the foreign workers come from a group of trade school graduates)
Finding clean record, qualified workers in Florida during the winter, is not a simple task. Trump (and all Florida seasonal employers) has had trouble finding QUALIFIED people to work in his hotels. In hotels (I have worked in them & I live in Florida), workers need to be experiences or trained, and LOOK GOOD. Appearance is important in hotel work, as is a non-criminal record. Just because you get applicants, doesn't mean you get hirable workers.
Trump hired some workers from an agency in Europe whose workers have graduated from training schools in hotel work, and they speak good English, have no criminal record, and look good.
You want to hire THESE GUYS ?
As for the statement that >> "Uses foreign manufacturers to produce Trump products".Oh yeah ? Are you sure about that ? Are you sure it's not others who manufacture THEIR ,products overseas, and they just pay Trump to allow them to put his name on them? Are you sure of what you're talking about here?
And just the fact that Trump has proposed a mass deportation of illegal aliens shows that he DOES indeed care about American workers, and Hillary Clinton, a supporter of illegal immigration does not care about them.
