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.

Virginia had a democrat governor, and they got another. This isn't a gain. It's just keeping a seat.
The new governor won the state by less than Hillary won the state. So, he still won, but the margin of victory was lower.
To say that the GOP did not do well in the election last week is thus wrong. They did better than expected for that election.
