What difference does that make on Mr. Trump's platform?

The point appears to be that foreign visa workers are taking jobs from American Bubbas. Permanent, seasonal, whatever.

Because we are Trump voters and we can see the difference.
That's what we need more of, Americans who can use deductive reasoning
in their decision-making responsibilities. AMIWRONG ?

"American Bubbas"? How bigoted and narrow-minded of you, Mick. All those college and high school kids who used to take those jobs are "American Bubbas" to you?

Once again, Mick, I will explain it to you. Years ago, resorts, local pools and amusement parks were open from Memorial Day to Labor Day (I guess that you are too young to remember that?). As a result, high school and college kids would take those jobs. In recent times, resorts, local pools and amusement parks started opening well before Memorial Day and stayed open well after Labor Day, making it impossible for high school and college kids to work those jobs.

An American with a family to support, doesn't want seasonal work, rather s/he wants year round work. Are you disparaging Americans for wanting year round work?

I'm sure this is just another story that will be ignored by the Trumpets as they complain about the other candidates' positions on immigration.
We already knew about this. It is old news. He has explains it here: Trump: I Hired Foreign Workers At Mar-A-Lago Because 'It's Very, Very Hard' To Get Seasonal Workers - Breitbart

I am still voting for Trump.

With Clinton it is more apparent, those who dislike her are those who do not want a woman for president. Sanders is too old and too much a socialist

The other ones, they are too religious, and it is tired!!!

I call b.s. on this. But I am glad you finally learned that a worker with a visa isn't an illegal - though it took you long enough.

Trump applied for 1100 visas over a 15 year period - that's about 73 visas a year. He 'applied' for the visas doesn't mean that he was granted every single visa or that he actually used every single visa.

Nobody knows why all of the citizens didn't get the jobs, but it's said that the ones who didn't weren't qualified - which could mean that they stated on their application that they weren't interested in a short term work, that they may have not passed the drug screens, etc. Then you have the applicants that apply but have no interest in being hired, for a short term job, because they are on unemployment. Until it can be proved that Trump denied a job to a citizen who was fully capable of doing the job, wasn't a druggie, etc., then I don't see any problems with his or any resort using short term seasonal visa workers, just like I don't have problems with the farmers in places like CA hiring visa migrant workers.

Where's the Jeb and Rubio hate when, in FL., Disney fired and replaced capable skilled citizen workers with visa workers, and even made the the citizen workers train their replacements????
Jeb and Rubio seemed to be perfectly fine with it

When anyone but Trump does something it's cricket time in here. Take the Nevada caucus thread for example - certain people were posting in there that Trump was doing wrong and that he was a fraud..but, when it was proven that it wasn't Trump but Rubio that violated the GOP rules, and even broke state and federal laws, that thread was suddenly abandoned by the Trump haters.

Dexter, I think Trump could gun down a sweet little old lady on the street and his supporters would just keep talking about how he 'tells it like it is."

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Thanks for that laugh. Fox News created Trump; they gave him incessant television time once he started his racist quest for Obama's birth certificate.

Well, you are not wrong in the general sense; but I don't think Trump voters are using any deductive reasoning at all. If they were - they would see the way in which his rhetoric is in direct opposition to his actions with regard to hiring immigrants AND taking his business overseas.

That said, IF a Republican is going to win the WH; I wold prefer Trump over the religious nut jobs. He will never be able to ban all Muslims and he could care less about overturning any social issues that I care about.

omg, unbelievable, the left supports illegal immigration (oh the heart strings) and they're just now catching on that they take American jobs. I'll bet if it was a Democrat they'd defend it to the end.

Suckers!

With all the fricken taxes I have to pay if I could take my company overseas I would. A lot of BIG companies are leaving. What did you expect?
