Donald Trump’s companies tried to import at least 1,100 foreign workers
By Claire Zillman - August 3, 2015

Companies owned by GOP frontrunner Donald Trump have sought at least 1,100 foreign worker visas since 2000—a practice that stands in stark contrast to Trump’s self-portrayal as a presidential candidate who would create and project American jobs.

A Reuters’ analysis of Department of Labor data shows that nine Trump-majority-owned companies have applied to bring waitresses, cooks, vineyard workers, and other laborers into the country on foreign worker visas. Most of the visa applications have gained approval, Reuters says. Palm Beach, Fla., resort Mar-a-Lago Club has sought the most foreign workers of the nine Trump-owned businesses. It has submitted applications for 787 workers since 2006. This month, it sought to bring in 70 foreign workers to work as maids, cooks, and servers on H-2B workers later this year

The visas the Trump companies have relied on the most—H-2B—is a subset of the H-2 visa program that covers nonagricultural foreign workers. (H-2A visas are for farm workers.) The H-2 program is often criticized for leaving workers vulnerable to employer abuses. Last month, a Buzzfeed investigation portrayed the system as one that—at times—fosters modern-day slavery.

Trump has said many times now that he does what he has to in order to remain competitive but that doesn't mean he agrees with the policy.

The system is there to be used and abused.

So in order to make money, he brings in people he thinks are murderers and rapists, and that's OK because it's just business.

Trumpservatives don't care what the Donald does because he's awesome and a winner. And a success. And he's really cool. And he made fun of Rosie O'Donnell.

And he's gonna build a wall and make all the beaners go home then let them back in.

I am sure some are like that but I think you are underestimating the backlash against the failed politically correct Republican establishment.

If it were not for Trump the Republicans would not be talking about securing the border. They would rather be trying to out do one another on how they can legalize and provide services to as many illegals as possible, amnesty, increasing legal immigration and H1-B's.

I would like to see a candidate attack Huckabee for providing free college to illegals or Ted Cruz for his proposed %500 increase in H1-B immigration. It probably will not be Rand considering he supports some form of H1-B immigration which Huckabee has been fighting against. So they all stay quiet rather than shoot one another.

Trump's support is coming from people whom feel we are being invaded and subjected to a drastic demographic shift that is taking a toll on our services at the hands of both political parties.

It's a kind of collective action dilemma and I think it can even sound reasonable depending on how it's argued.

Suppose you compete in a sport that causes injuries. Would people posted a sign recommending helmet use change anything? Maybe some players think they have better visibility and mobility without it; they don't want to be the only one who loses that edge even in the name of safety. This is the kind of reasoning people will use to claim why they can't be the only one not abusing a system.

Donald Trump is a alpha male, get in line all you beta male losers.

[dannno]

No kidding. lol

Recently green chilies has been banned to import from Mexico.

Well I guess it's a good thing for drug smugglers that red chilis are still legal to import

Imagine the CEO of Planned Parenthood running for President on a pro-life platform: "Sure, we do a lot of abortions, but that's how we made so much money!"
