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.

    Both sides nominate based on loyalty

    Let me tell you, President Obama picked a huge, huge number of UNQUALIFIED judges. But you never hear about that. Because he didn't nominate them. He would go to the American Bar Association -- which is very liberal -- and ask, is this guy qualified? And a lot, a lot of times they would tell him "no." And he didn't nominate those guys. A few times they said "yes" and he went ahead with the nominations. Nobody really knows why they say "yes" or "no." I mean, they know. Probably, they know. But most folks don't know. So I'm not asking the Bar Association, I'm deciding whether a guy is qualified or not. Believe me, I can tell. It's very easy to tell. And surprise, surprise, a lot of times the Bar Association says I nominated someone qualified. Not 100%, actually 60%. Which is very good. For Obama it was 70%. It's no surprise, folks, I'm not trying to be a liberal here so they don't want to agree. But I know what I'm doing so they look very foolish if they don't agree. 🇺🇸
