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.

    I'm setting a great example. Because the greatest businessmen always, always put money first. And so do the greatest presidents. A lot of people are saying I'm the best. I'm a winner. I don't leave money on the table. When I'm golfing I play with a handicap, a very low handicap. 2.8. I'm not going to handicap my businesses just because I went into politics. And while I'm a politician I'm not running my businesses. I promised to stop running them, I kept that promise. I put them into a blind trust. Which my kids are managing. I'm not in charge of that. Not at all. I own it, I don't make the decisions any more. But I think they made the right decision here, a winning move.

    We’re going to win economically. We’re going to win with the economy. I am going to bring back the jobs that have been stripped away from you and your country. We will make America the best place in the world to start a business. We’ll hire workers, and we’ll open factories. We will also get rid of wasteful rules and regulations, which are destroying our job-creation capacity. I am your voice. I'm with you, and I will fight for you, and I will win for you! 🇺🇸

    You're still making shitty excuses. Morals "trump" money. If it's alright for a businessman to "put money first", then we have to stop arresting robbers, muggers, and burglars. They are doing the same damned thing, "put money first".

    The only thing you are doing is stating the obvious. Rich bastards get away with theft and embezzlement because they are rich. Poor bastards don't get away with it, because they are poor.

    You have no reason or excuse to bring foreign workers into this country, to perform work that Americans can do. And, no, don't bother making another post to lie about a lack of American workers.

      'Make America Great Act'

      - Any person or business making more than 1/330 millionth of America's GDP is fair game for American citizens to steal from, with no criminal charges brought against independent citizens choosing to steal from them. Criminal charges as well as RICO still apply for gangs, other corporations, and criminal enterprises which attempt to do the same, but independent citizens can steal to their heart's content :)

      Sounds like an excellent application of 'trickle down economics' to me, while enforcing the death by a thousand cuts for most corporations/wealthy individuals :)
