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.

New Jersey Senator Bob Menendez had spent the last couple months on trial for corruption, bribery, and fraud. All mainstream media avoided the story. This is a sitting senator on trial for corruption, bribery, and fraud. Something is rotten here. Most TV networks gave the story a minute or so in non-news shows, and zero coverage in the news programs. As is usual, there is rarely a "(D)" shown after the name of a misbehaving democrat.
The senate itself should have voted to eject Bob Menendez, but the democrats want to drag things out to avoid letting a republican governor appoint a replacement.
To compare: CNN heavily covered republican senator Ted Steven’s corruption trial back in 2008. The unsubstantiated nonsense about Trump always gets heavy coverage.
You'll have to go outside the bubble to see anything about this:
