Donald Trump is staking his run for U.S. president in part on a vow to protect American jobs. But this month, one of his companies, the elite Mar-a-Lago Club resort in Florida, applied to import 70 foreign workers to serve as cooks, wait staff and cleaners.
A Reuters analysis of U.S. government data reveals that this is business as usual in the New York property magnate's empire.
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.

Then they should change jobs and run for Congress. Trump followed the law. Nothing to see here.
Over 15 years!
Trump has called for stricter limits on LEGAL immigration as well--including a "pause" in new work visas--in order to better protect American workers. (source)
So, I guess we shouldn't bring in foreign workers to compete with Americans, unless Trump wants to hire them?
IT IS A CULT OF CHARACTER!
Business Insider sure is trying to get rid of both Trump and Cruz.Here is an article that was published against Cruz 3 hours ago. My, my.

Coin-Face.

Hey, where is that Trump supporter that always cries “Cheap Labor Express” when he mentions Cruz?

And I wonder how many of Trump’s “temporary” workers overstayed their visas and are in our midst now? Enquiring minds want to know.
You have a weird imagination.
My my guess they have a GOPEE adgenda
Posting an article from last July, an article that has already been discussed and dismissed is pathetic.
I could make threads for these articles:
Cruz Mega-Donor is Gay, Pro-Pot Billionaire:

Ted Cruz Is Guest of Two Gay Businessmen in NYC:

I didn’t know Cruz owned any hotels..
The point is that Trump understands and acknowledges that bringing in cheap foreign workers harms American workers, and campaigns on a pledge to change the law to stop that from happening, and at the same time, takes advantage of the (harmful, according to Trump) immigration system in order to benefit himself.
So he does it legally?
Which equates to 5% of his workforce.
Trump supporters have said he has 22,000 employees.
So he had to hire 5% of his workforce from overseas?
Isn’t our “official, government sanctioned” unemployment rate 5%?
Hmm.......
Conspiracy by Big Business owners, anyone? LOL
That was fun
Is this the same kind of temporary visa that TRUMPSTERS are berating TED CRUZ about?
******************************************************************************
Yes, except Ted Cruz wants to make employers pay such “imported” workers a minimum of $110,00.00 to stop the flow like a brick wall. How many of Trump’s (and other employers such as he who prefer non-Americans) “temporary” foreign workers would he hire instead of Americans if he had to pay THAT minimum? My guess would be about ZERO and TRUMP would squeal like a stuck pig losing his cheap labor in that manner.
Trump didn't personally do this but he needs to start cleaning out the management that can't keep their hands out of the cookie jar. Or he needs to divest of all his holdings.
Only if you were the puppies owner.
Over a 15 year period??? Less than 74 TEMPS PER YEAR!!! As opposed to Media and Hi-Tech firms supporting the DIMS who import 10K+ foreign workers per year to displace Highly Skilled (and paid) Americans? To add insult to injury, many of these Americans are required to TRAIN THEIR FOREIGN REPLACEMENTS AND AGREE TO REMAIN AVAILABLE FOR "CONSULTATION" WITH THEIR REPLACEMENTS IN ORDER TO QUALIFY FOR TERMINATION BENEFITS!
There will be NO END to the attempts to vilify Trump!!!
