Donald Trump has made restoring American jobs a centerpiece of his campaign, a pledge he reiterated last week when he accepted the Republican nomination for president: “I’m going to bring our jobs back to Ohio and Pennsylvania and New York and Michigan and all of America,” he said.

This month, Trump is bringing jobs to Florida, as he looks to hire 78 servers, housekeepers, and cooks at his Mar-a-Lago Club in Palm Beach and the nearby Trump National Golf Club, Jupiter.

But instead of making sure those jobs go to Americans, he is seeking to import foreign workers for the positions, which pay $10.17 an hour for housekeepers, $11.13 an hour for servers, and $12.74 for cooks. He filed applications this month claiming he couldn’t find enough Americans to do that work, and is seeking temporary visas to bring in 65 workers at Mar-a-Lago along with another seven waiters and six cooks at the golf club.

Didn't see this posted here.. just the usual attack hillary threads but this one is interesting.. Plenty of Americans willing to work for that.. Donnieboy.

Heh, more guest workers, some of whom statistically, when their visas expire, will stay here illegally.

Trump is importing illegal aliens! :p

Shouldn't Dems be happy with this, he's just providing jobs to people Americans won't do, right? :confused:

everyone knows that's complete bullshit, all Trump has to do is publicly say i'm hiring and he would have thousands of applications in a heartbeat.

Uh, sure.

Glad you agree this isn't an issue! :thumbsup:

Yes and shouldn't Republicans be flipping out about it?

I don't know why they would, according to Dems the evil Corp (which is implied as Republicans) are the ones that are doing stuff like this, so they'd be in favor of it, right?

Nope, sorry, these are jobs Americans won't do. We just need to follow pro-"Immigrant" "logic" on this and apply it the same way. I mean, if Trump didn't do this, people might have to pay 10c/lb more for lettuce, and that simply is not acceptable. You agree, correct?

The whole "Americans won't do this job!" mentality always grates on me.

Yep, won't do it. For $10/day under the table, no benefits, no rights (because we'll report/deport if you complain!) etc. I mean, who wouldn't just jump at an opportunity like that. Plus, free suntans in the fields!

Hey, I love to see the Intellectuals spin their logic. Maybe Nickie will grace us with his/her presence so we can get some true laughs... :biggrin::biggrin::wub:

Sounds about right.

Have to import those indentured servants.

How about you give us with some of your insight? You can start by telling us your opinion on the matter and whether or not you think h1b1 visas are good or bad or somewhere in between.

Bah, my insight? Why? It's not like the head nodders care right? If it doesn't toe the Intellectual head nodding schtick, it's racist/misogynist/xenophobic/whateverotherPCdelusionthatmentallymastrubatesthem, then it's not valid, amirite?

I'm simply applying your sides "logic" to what Trump is doing. Do you not agree with your "logic"? You do have no problem with it, right?

Which logic is that? The $15/hr minimum wage? Did Trump try that? The living wage (which in Jupiter, Fl is $22/hr for a single parent with a single child). Did Trump try that? Those are two strong Dem requests. I suspect if Trump tried either of those, he wouldn't need foreign workers in that location.

If they can't get either of those, we are left with foreign workers. Why? Because $10.17/hr in a city of 3.7% unemployment and an average per capita income of $22/hr just doesn't get Americans to take the jobs (to get the VISAs Trump's company has to prove that no Americans took the offer). Not to mention that those resort jobs tend to be seasonal and temporary.

Finally, did he try to move workers from his closed Taj Mahal?

The left has always cared about immigration and labor laws. They just want immigration and labor laws to work for the businesses AND employees (while eliminating the need for government assistance if minimum wages are high enough to not need welfare).

Bullshit. The left has made it clear ad nauseam that immigration and labor laws are to be ignored as politicians and businesses see fit. To even say "enforce the laws we have" is cast as racist.

The DNC trots illegal aliens out on stage saying the only reason people are opposed to open borders is racism and wanting to split famlies up.

But now when trump does what's been cast now as a civil rights birthright (ignore the complaints of American workers and call them racists then hire foreigners for low wages and poor conditions citing 'jobs Americans won't do') suddenly there's a problem?

Laughable!

Big of an ass as Trump is, he should haul his own set of these guest workers up on a stage with sob stories in tow and cast anyone against what he's doing as racist xenophobes.

It IS humorous to see the left's own bullshit turned on them, and then see them actually stunble around to the correct sides of arguments they've been on the wrong side of since the puppetmasters first gave the marching orders to make this whole topic about race.

Traditionally the left is all about the lower part of the social pyramid, and the right the upper end. It's only been the last few bizzaro years that the religious rubes & such in the GOP figured out their leadership didn't really give a shit about them after all.

OMG you racist misogynist xenophobic bigot! :D How dare you even question the quasi-indentured servant gravy train?!!? :biggrin::biggrin:
