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.

in the "Democratic" primary I voted for Sanders
Your pattern and mine match.
In California, The Blues will allow Non-Blues to cross party lines and vote for Dems in the primary.
(The Greens don't allow this and I'm registered non-partisan.)
You ask for a Democratic crossover ballot. [google.com]
DO NOT accept a "provisional" ballot (AKA a placebo ballot).
N.B. A federal law says that if there is a registration irregularity, you must be offered a "provisional" ballot; it does NOT say that those must be counted (and, as a rule, they aren't).
...and poll workers are typically eager to push placebo ballots.
When my polling place moved by a few hundred yards and I went to the old location out of habit, the gal offered me one of those damned palacebo ballots instead of first telling me that I should go down to the corner (another polling place) and check there.
I listen to Pacific Radio and they do a great job of explaining this stuff repeatedly.
I assume that anyone consuming only Lamestream Media (which includes NPR and PBS) missed this.
Word is, there were 2 million votes for Bernie in California's primary that didn't get counted. [google.com]
.
I had previously had another crappy poll worker who wouldn't give me a paper ballot after I had signed the roll.
This is how I found out for myself that placebo ballots are total crap.
That's what the poll worker gave me and the authorities mailed me a notice that said mine was rejected.
Now I insist that they show me my paper ballot before I sign anything.
.
I'm now wondering if Organized Labor will abandon The Blues and throw their weight behind a 3rd party in 2018 and 2020.
