Companies owned by GOP frontrunner Donald Trump have sought at least 1,100 foreign worker visas since 2000—a practice that stands in stark contrast to Trump’s self-portrayal as a presidential candidate who would create and project American jobs.
A Reuters’ analysis of Department of Labor data shows that nine Trump-majority-owned companies have applied to bring waitresses, cooks, vineyard workers, and other laborers into the country on foreign worker visas. Most of the visa applications have gained approval, Reuters says. Palm Beach, Fla., resort Mar-a-Lago Club has sought the most foreign workers of the nine Trump-owned businesses. It has submitted applications for 787 workers since 2006. This month, it sought to bring in 70 foreign workers to work as maids, cooks, and servers on H-2B workers later this year
The visas the Trump companies have relied on the most—H-2B—is a subset of the H-2 visa program that covers nonagricultural foreign workers.

Enforce immigration law, and they wouldn't.
Aren’t these all legal workers, and wasn’t Trump speaking out against illegal immigrants? So, no problem.
THAT IS HILLAREOUS!! HE was using LEGAL aliens— NOT ILLEGAL -— DUUHHHH!! You don’t want to see the difference do you?
Old story.
Vast majority of the workers were WHITE Eastern European ladies hired to work as maids, waitresses and bartenders at his hotels. And well as WHITE Eastern European models for his modeling agency.
It’s just another brick in the wall.
You realize that he has spoken out about immigration, but ALSO about bringing jobs back to the U.S., for American workers.
Who cares if they were white?
It sounds like he has created more jobs than Obama. Trump is a tremendously phenomenally successful businessman.
Proves he’s not a racist. Nice try Claire, thanks for proving the point. HA!
You work within the laws as written. If you don’t, you lose to those that do. How’s it workin’ out for the guy that decided to pay ALL of his people $70k?
i.e. this story is not news and not a ding in the least against trump.
Basically, Trump is toast even before the HRC gets going. The Republican nominee simply cannot win a Presidential election without Ohio and Florida. The real question is how high is the percentage in a national poll of this who will not vote for Trump under any circumstances? I suspect that number is high given that women make up 53% of the electorate. Its time to end the Trump fiasco and instead work to get Ted Cruz elected. Right now like a forrest fire, Trump is sucking out all the oxygen in the campaign. HRC is smiling. Bill did right by promoting Trump to run.
except for those pesky corporate bankruptcies
These are temporary SEASONAL workers. Last week there was the same info and I looked it up. These are not H1B good for 3 years - these are limited seasonal workers. And yes, most Americans won’t take a job to last several months.
WE already went over this ad nauseum on August 3rd.
Boring retread.
Old story. 1,100 over fifteen years for all his business locations.
And YOU realize that with millions of native Americans getting nice welfare benefits under obozo’s Cloward-Pivin plan to BREAK THE BANK, these folks DON’T WANT JOBS! Trump has to get the manpower from somewhere!
It will take a change of regimes to pull back the welfare state so these native will get off their asses and WORK for their keep!
1100 foreign workers is about 1/3 of my side of town’s worth of foreign workers in a six month span of time
There’s an invasion going on and this stupid article resurrects weekly
