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.

There's a book called "Human Universals". It's a serious anthropological study of every human culture possible, searching for the root common qualities they all share with each other.
One of these common qualities is the de-facto system of government. Behind the facade all governments are the same, from primitive tribes to super powers. It's called Oligarchy.
The part you're able to see is just the popularity show. Guns, Gay Marriage, Abortion, Immigration... Rich and powerful people don't care about any of those things. It's a distraction to keep us busy, like a magicians misdirection. The real decisions about things that really matter (the wealth and power of a country) happen behind closed doors. They always have. Today is no different.
