Simple solution: pay more to attract American citizens to these jobs, if indeed foreign workers were sought out.

Not so simple in industries that make extensive use of illegal aliens and poor legal immigrants. For your "simple" solution to work, the entire hotel and resort industry would have to be required to follow the same employment rules.

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.

Honesly, neither you nor I know if temporary-visas were used to fill such positions. Something specific would be required for those situations to be addressed.

And, as I posted elsewhere, 1,100 temporary workers over fifteen years for a multi-location hotel and golf course operation like Trump's is a tiny number of jobs. That probably averages to only single digit temporary employees per hotel or golf course in a given year.

Welfare to work programs that Trump has proposed are the answer to much of this.

Exactly, go to the Trump hotel construction in DC and you will see hundreds of people working. That is one location. He has employed 100,00’s of people and the amount of H1-B’s is tiny.

Liberals always complain about ‘dirty money’ so they stay pure and become professors. Business is not always pretty, sorry.
