He'd better function as a Secretary of Labor for Americans, not foreigners - this is not an issue Trump can compromise on.

If I am a CEO I must work within the law. Thus if the government is importing cheap labor I have to go along even if I don’t like it. The other option is to close down. I’m not sure he’s reversed himself so much as it is that now he can express how he really feels

He got his mind right. And there’s going to be a lot more of that in the days ahead.
We would do well in the days ahead to ignore what Trump says, and to completely disbelieve anything the MSM says, and watch what he and his people do.

Something won him over. Maybe it was a visit from Captain Obvious.

I posted on another Thread that the Carls Jr. Restaurants where I live all use E Verify for all their Hiring.

Not sure if it was a Corporate Policy or the Franchise Policy.

Good point: now that he knows he has moral support from Donald Trump, he can follow what might have been his personal druthers even though the corporate world was baying for him to either go the cheap imported labor route or else be punished in the near term market.

I'm of the opinion that if we don't like something, that we should speak up, and that perhaps Trump will listen to us and correct the problem.

This might also be the case for Mike Pence. Weak at times in his position as Indiana governor, he sings a more confident song with Donald Trump and the cast that Donald Trump is assembling, at his back.

From all that I've read about Puzder in the last few days, he has not simply been a business leader going along with the availability of cheap immigrant labor. Instead, he has been a forceful advocate for the illegal-immigrant excuse that there are jobs Americans are not willing to do, and also a forceful advocate for amnesty. In other words, he sounds like his views on immigration are much more in line with Jeb Bush's than Trump's.

Hopefully he will serve as Labor Secretary with the goal of preserving jobs for Americans and expanding the job market for Americans.

...

Reading his entire statement, that’s exactly what he’s saying.

That is the only acceptable position for anyone in this administration.
I was concerned about this pick in light of his support of amnesty.

I just do not get that. What possible point was there to ever back high skilled foreign workers rotating in and out of here, when parents of graduating kids with the same skill set were left to serve drinks and beef stew at Ruth Crist Steakhouse.

Trump said he’d sign an exec order directing the DOL to go after visa abuses

The company does use the E-Verify system to check your social security number. This process is done to verify your right to work in the United States.
