Weeks after the Trump administration lowered minimum wages for some temporary farmworkers, the Trump Organization sought approval to hire 36 foreign workers for its Virginia winery at a pay rate nearly $2 an hour below what it previously offered—highlighting the company’s continued reliance on overseas labor even as President Donald Trump argues Americans are being pushed out of jobs.

So, on set of rules for him and another set of rules for everyone else? Who is shocked? Sorry, Eric, all the available foreign workers you are salivating over are on a plan being flown to a country they know nothing about. What was that you said about foreign workers taking American jobs? Can you repeat that again?

Trump has routinely talked out of both sides of his mouth on immigration. He fans the flames of envy by claiming foreigners are taking away Americans' jobs, while at the same time supporting H1B visas, an increase in Chinese student visas, and immigrant and overseas labor in his own companies.

So, are you saying that Trump is using illegals to work the vineyards?
Illegal wages being paid?
What's your point? Other than much to do about nothing.

These jobs are probably ones that we wouldn't want, right?

Nope. The organization followed the law:

U.S. law allows companies to hire foreign workers through temporary visas when they can’t fill jobs with U.S. applicants.
The organization tried and failed to get US applicants, and proved that to the Department.

Sorry to trash your TDS narrative.

The trump morality rule, "What's in it for me."

No, you're thinking of every national Democrat who has profited financially from their political "service". Trump, on the other hand, has sacrificed much of his personal fortune to be of service to the American people.

What is wrong with a work visa?
That is the legal way.

Also, hasn't Trump removed himself from the day to day management of his businesses?
