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.

The gay marriage, that's a terrific example. Who do some of these judges think they are? The folks in California voted fair and square to amend the Constitution. But some judge says, "Oh no, you can't, that's unconstitutional." How can the Constitution be unconstitutional? I'll tell you, it can't. And if it could, do we really want JUDGES to decide on things like that? That's not the job of a judge. Not what they're there for. But they pretend it's their job. Believe me, they're lousy at it. You look at the 14th Amendment, if there's anything unconstitutional in the Constitution it's that. It's the reason we have all these anchor babies. What happens is, they’re in Mexico, they’re going to have a baby, they move over here for a couple of days, they have the baby. When people are illegally in the country, they have to go. Now, the good ones -- there are plenty of good ones -- will work, so it’s expedited, we can expedite it where they come back in, but they come back legally.
And flag burning. Personally, I don’t think it should be legal. Let me ask you a question. It didn’t used to be legal, did it? I see more and more burning of the flag. Did it used to be legal? People burning the flag, I don’t like them in this country. Nobody ever asks, why don't the courts stop that? They're not stopping it, it's getting worse and worse. 🇺🇸

I think flag burning is the correct and proper way prescribed in the flag code to dispose of a flag. Now I know that's not what you mean, but here's the more nuanced answer(IANAL, FWIW, Free advice is worth what you paid, etc): Burning of the flag is legal, burning of the flag to show disrespect is illegal because it shows disrespect according to the law dealing with the flag, how it is to be displayed, etc. I think this is also overridden by the 1st amendment, as making a political statement via a demonstration and public special is protected, by free speech and right to assemble.
