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.

    States have the constitutional right to choose electors as they wish:

    * by lottery
    * by auction
    * the governor picks
    * the state supreme court picks
    * the state legislature picks
    * first-past-the-post voting (normal)
    * approval voting
    * ranked voting
    * the state's members of the US congress are automatically the electors

    That last one would be a parliament. If all the states did that, then the US congress would effectively be a US parliament.
