Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago Estate Gets Permission to Hire 70 Foreign Workers

Claiming a shortage of workers for the hospitality industry, Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago club has requested and obtained permission to hire 70 foreign workers. The claim of a shortage of available workers is disputed:

'"We currently have 5,136 qualified candidates in Palm Beach County for various hospitality positions listed in the Employ Florida state jobs database," CareerSource spokesman Tom Veenstra said Friday.'

70 is a slight increase over last year, when 64 foreign workers were hired.

"Making America Great Again" by hiring foreigners? Perhaps what is required is higher pay, not foreigners.

    Did he promise the mexicans will pay for the wall?
    Since their government doesn't want to, mexicans working in US will pay for it in taxes.

    Maybe he could say they'd pay for it in cost savings on the labor. That way he can sort of say he kept his promise.
