Donald Trump hates
illegal immigration. He calls
illegal immigrants criminals and rapists. He wants to build a wall to keep
illegal immigrants out and deport
millions and millions of undocumented immigrants who are already here. “They’re taking our jobs. They’re taking our manufacturing jobs. They’re taking our money. They’re killing us," Trump has said of
immigrant labor. He hates illegal immigration. He hates it.
Also, though, Donald Trump is a successful businessman. And to be so, it seems as though he has to rely upon
immigrant labor on a not irregular basis. For example, Trump Mar-a-Lago Club in Palm Beach, Florida, has relied for years on
foreign workers coming in on temporary visas. Trump has brought in these employees for at least 15 years, because he says he can’t find qualified American workers for the same jobs.
As
CNN reported earlier this year,
between 2013 and 2015 Mar-a-Lago posted 250 seasonal job openings. Of those, 246 went to foreign workers and four went to Americans.
BuzzFeed reported on Wednesday that Mar-a-Lago Club and the nearby Trump National Golf Club, Jupiter, are seeking to fill 78 server, housekeeper, and cook positions with
foreign laborers under
H-2 guest worker visa applications because Trump's organizations claim they couldn’t find Americans to do the work.
Just since his presidential run began a little more than a year ago, in fact,
BuzzFeed reports that
Trump has gotten permission from the Labor Department to hire 149 other foreign guest workers, again under the auspices that there aren’t enough qualified American workers available to do the jobs.
Why is it so hard to find a qualified American cook, housekeeper, or server in southern Florida? Trump’s businesses argue that these are temporary jobs and that American workers are looking for something more permanent.
