A Reuters analysis of U.S. government data reveals that this is business as usual in the New York property magnate's empire.

Keywords: You don't understand Immigration.

Many work visas start out temporary and evolve all the way to Green Cards. It still takes an American job.

I'm sure the U.S. workers who were displaced by these cheap foreign workers are consoled by the fact that the cheap foreign workers were here temporarily.

Iirc he also hired some Italian stone masons to repair historic building as they were not available here. Then he hired Americans to work along with them to learn the trade

This is not news.

The GOP-e and the liberals in the media and the Demon Rats are continually spewing the LIE that conservatives on immigration are HATERS of immigration.

They aren’t. They are opposed to The ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION.

I'm sure the U.S. workers who were displaced by these cheap foreign workers are consoled by the fact that the cheap foreign workers were here legally.

This proves he is pro legal immigration, and will bring some more support from minorities and Dims.

Funny how the Establishment Rats at the Business Insider attacks Trump on this. They are all for this 10 fold. I guess they will do anything to attack Trump?

The fact that the Establishment attacks Trump the way they do, then that should clue you in that’s the guy you want for office.

If you are attacking Trump, then you are for an Establishment Whore that will sell out and assist in the destruction of America.

It’s a cullt of personality. You could have a video of Trump tossing puppies into a blender and molesting a goat and his supporters would love him even more for it.
