H2B Visas

News Item: "Mar-a-Lago Club is seeking to hire 15 housekeepers, 20 cooks and 35 servers."

We are always told that employers hire illegal immigrants or non-citizens for jobs that Americans refuse to do. We are given examples such as working in a chicken processing plant or picking strawberries in the blazing sun but the above jobs are at a resort where they even have a daycare center for the employees. So why does Trump want H2B visas for these 70 places? Employers hire H2B workers to do temporary non-agricultural jobs but these jobs are not temporary unless the club plans to fire them and ask for 70 more in the near future. Housekeepers, cooks, and servers are staff at the resort, not caterers. I would be willing to bet that there are more than 70 folks who are residents of Palm Beach County who would like to work at those jobs and who are qualified to do so.

What's up, Donald?
