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.

  Donald Trump is not a hiring manager or marketing rep for Trump Mar A Lago Resort, he is the President of the United States, and has absolutely nothing to do with Trump Mar A Lago Resort's hiring or business practices and policies.

  Good. Then he can have a meeting (have his staff meet) with the ownership of Mar-A-Lago ownership and persuade them to change their policies, the same was he did with other U.S. businesses about to export jobs. That's fair, isn't it?

  He can choose to not go there until they change their practices and go to Camp David instead. That's fair, isn't it?

  He can Tweet about how unfair it is that Americans are being denied jobs at Mar-A-Lago because they import foreign workers. That's fair, isn't it?
