Donald Trump Thinks American Workers Aren’t Good Enough for the Trump Organization
National Review ^ | 4/25/2016 | Ian Tuttle

Posted on 02/26/2016 9:26:16 AM PST by dschapin

The news that Donald Trump turned down 94 percent of American job applicants to his Mar-a-Lago club in Palm Beach, Fla., in favor of foreign workers brought in under the H-2B visa program should come as a surprise to absolutely no one.... [During] the campaign season, Trump has proven himself a liar of Clintonian proportions, and there has never been any reason to believe that he was somehow more trustworthy when it came to his rhetorical opposition to America's foolish immigration policies ...

And, indeed, this turns out not to be the first time that Donald Trump has undermined American workers to expand his profit margin. That has been his M.O. throughout his career.

...

Donald humbly referred to Trump Tower as “The Most Important Project in the World.”

Apparently, the first leg of the project was too important to entrust to American workers. In a lawsuit filed in Manhattan Federal Court, members of House Wreckers Local 95 alleged that, to avoid paying union employees their pension and welfare benefits, Trump (and the contractor he used for the job, Kaszycki & Sons) brought in some 200 undocumented Polish workers to demolish the Bonwit Teller building that then occupied the site of the future Trump Tower.

...

Some three decades later, nothing has changed. Last year, the Washington Post reported that Trump is using undocumented workers in the construction work on his much-feted project to convert Washington, D.C.’s Old Post Office Pavilion into a luxury hotel...

...

...Donald Trump’s professional history is one of undermining American workers — by exploiting the law wherever possible and, when that’s not enough, breaking it outright. Donald Trump is not looking out for American workers. He is looking out for his own pocketbook. That’s not going to change by putting him in the White House.

Good to see NRO keeping to their schedule.

Daily hit pieces is a rough pace to maintain.

Cruz doesn’t support Rubio, he is running against him and has repeatedly attacked him on the gang of eight. Cruz simply realizes that Rubio is not as destructive as Trump who is a narcissistic, hypocritical, lying, lifelong liberal.

Is DC a union only area? Hell, most contractors in Nashville use illegal Mexicans and have since 2000 because Americans rarely work. Try to hire American roofers? Try to hire American drywall types. I cannot find them as the owner might be American, but; his labor is illegal Mex.

The news that Donald Trump turned down 94 percent of American job applicants

So I understand that you have a copy of all these applicants? So you have determined that only those applicants that were legal citizens were turned down? You are a real piece of shi!

Trump for President.

When did anyone in the National Review care about American workers? They are the big open borders, cheap labor supporters.

The only workers in DC appear to be 4 illegals to 1 American. This proposed union is Hispanic etc.

The NRO has already endorsed Cruz.

Trump doesn’t need any of us standing up for him. He just happens to be an American guy, making noises about what is wrong in our country. It is easy for bloggers like you to be negative. Maybe we should go back years into your history, Dschapin....

Really? You must be really busy researching and compiling data supporting that statement. Where’s the list?

Hi bgill,

I don’t think any of Trump’s companies are public. Hence, there are no stockholders.

That’s the underlying problem - his financial position is held closely under wraps. All that you hear (sourced to him) is that he is very wealthy. Story is he is angry with Steve Forbes because Trump is not on the Forbe’s List of the most wealthy people. Trump tried to “negotiate” himself onto the list, but Forbe’s had/has too much integrity.

As soon as he mandates an 80% tax rates & gives an American uranium field to the Russians he will be appointed president of this once great nation Hey genius, please provide evidence where Trump will "mandate an 80% tax rate."

If you can't substantiate the statement and offer hard evidence, then you should admit that you are a liar.

Why do you, and people like you, make up this crap?

Does anyone SERIOUSLY think he’s wrong about that - considering that millenials spend 90% of their working hours doing nothing but TEXTING.
