Here’s Donald Trump’s dilemma: He is running for president on a platform of bringing jobs back to the U.S. and making America Great again.
But at his private club in south Florida, he has filled his staff almost exclusively with imported foreign workers. And he has been doing it for years.
The U.S. Department of Labor has confirmed to CNN that between 2013 and fall 2015, Trump’s Mar-a-Lago club posted 250 seasonal job openings and filled just 4 of those jobs with American workers. The club requested the rest of the staff be temporarily imported through the Federal government’s H-2B visa process. Basically, Mar-a-Lago brings in its seasonal staff from overseas.
As the owner of a temp staffing firm, I can tell you my customers want foreigners. Why? They arrive on time, do their jobs, aren’t always on the cell cussing out the baby mama, schedule doctor visits off time, no probation officer visits, no missed bus (all have cars)don’t expect to be supervisors first day in. They mostly don’t care if they’re e-Verified.
Blame the public schools for turning out product unwilling to work, or unable to work, for a market wage for entry level employees, and the welfare state for enabling it. Tan-Tar-A resort in the Ozarks used to staff seasonally from Jamaica.

Sounds like a reasons to hire those that want to work and are legal.
Seasonal jobs aren’t necessarily what Americans are looking for.
Apparenlty four did though.
