Donald Trump's companies have sought visas to import at least 1,100 workers
Brought in legally under temporary work-visa programs. This is another problem Trump has addressed by adovating welfare to work programs if he's president. For these types of jobs, our wonderful government has created a situation where many US citizens are better off on means tested poverty programs than working in lower paying jobs.
This needs to be addressed and Trump is the only one I've heard mention it recently, maybe since Newt Gingrich pushed welfare reform in the '90s.
Trump owns companies that have sought to import at least 1,100 foreign workers on temporary visas since 2000, according to U.S. Department of Labor data reviewed by Reuters. Most of the applications were approved, the data show.
1,100 temporary workers in fifteen years isn't much for the many hotels and golf courses Trump operates. Sounds like he hires citizens and legal residents whenever possible and used a legal program for a few extra workers over fifteen years.
Simple solution: pay more to attract American citizens to these jobs, if indeed foreign workers were sought out.
Secondly, no American citizens could be found to fill the positions of assistant hotel manager and banquet manager if indeed foreign workers were sought out for these positions?
Honestly. Please.
