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?

LOL WTF. :D The Dem logic of "these are jobs Americans won't do". I mean, what we know from that logic is, if you can get people over here to 'do jobs Americans' won't do, then, you're pro-"Immigration". So isn't it odd that Dems are now holding Trump to a different standard than what they've been advocating for this entire time?

P.S. If you don't let your country be invaded by low wage labor, when these businesses offer jobs at $10.17/hr in a city of 3.7% unemployment, and those jobs go unfilled, those business owners will have to raise wages to get people in there to work. Or, gasp!, actually do the jobs themselves instead of sitting back hiring illegals and raking in the profits.

And why wouldn't you, Republicans, Trump supporters, etc be mad about this, especially when Trump has talked about bringing jobs back to America yet allows his suits, ties, etc. to be produced in China and Mexico and now is looking to import more foreign workers to perform jobs at his resorts here in the US. I would think anyone supporting him would be upset about it too.

First, I am upset about it. In a US where we have so many useful - and useless - college grads working at Starbucks, these companies should be taking them on...to say nothing of the non-college grad workforce that chooses to sit at home. If Trump were to be elected - which he will not be - I'd expect him to put a stop to that shit right away, across the board: Not for just his companies, but all companies in the US. That's the only way to solve the problem, else you'll just kill your labor competitiveness while your competition keeps on keepin on with their lower wage labor.

If there is one thing a POTUS Trump could do for the average US Citizen, it would be to lock down the southern border, reform immigration law to benefit the average US worker, and also the H1B circus. Like the miss that was Bummer and healthcare (which I don't totally blame him for, he was still in campaign mode plus had no real experience for the job he acquired, there is a learning/Reality curve), it's going to take top US Leadership to simply 'go nuclear' (oh the head nodders just got a full Chris Matthews tingle there!) on these issues to get real results. The Establishment who wants H1B/illegal invasion is A OK to "debate" the issue for years, put up some feel good legislation (that they can help craft of course), etc. In the end, nothing will change because that's how they'll maneuver the result. It's going to take someone who doesn't care about breaking some Establishment eggs to ramrod through something worthwhile, else we'll have just more of the same. It was what was needed with HC, and it's what is needed with immigration.

Problem is, when these fools elect Billary, what we'll get is immigration legislation that will f*ck the average US Citizen...the exact opposite of what we need. I feel bad for these low income voters who are voting Dem, it's like they just cannot grasp how bad the people they're voting to help them are in Reality f*cking them. :'(

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.


This, and what is truly sad is how this same liberal types now cast Americans as not being as "Efficient" compared to in sourced or outsourced workers.

Efficient the new buzzword for those that will work for peanuts under conditions not fit for a dog because 40 hour work week, overtime, labor rights, safety rights, environmental rights, etc. are now considered inefficient.

Trump is just proving that he'll create more American jobs. Only problem is that they won't be filled by Americans. Next we'll have a national H1B lottery show with Melania pulling the names out of a box wearing pasties.

No he wouldn't, but like all trump's little fluffers, you aren't smart enough to realize that.
