Please post your evidence of how many Americans applied for jobs there and were turned down in order to hire a foreigner. TIA.

Who knows what it is when you count those who dropped out of looking, retired because they couldn't find work or those who are underemployed.

Fact remains, those people are not now looking for work especially in these types of jobs.

That's a bit of a philosophical question - can someone with no grasp of the concept of "truth" be accused of lying?

You too, post the amount of Americans that applied and were turned down in order to hire a foreigner. As it looks, there are most likely more Americans working there than foreigners since these foreigners would be NEW hires to fill the gaps for a few months. Who is working there year round? I bet Americans are.

It has been refuted by employment agencies in the area who say they never get job requests from Mar-a-Lago and they have plenty of cooks, stewards, wait staff, housekeepers, ... available to send over for interviews.

There are plenty of hardworking Americans who are not problem employees.

You ought to be ashamed of besmirching them with lies.
You clearly know nothing about the people who show up for job interviews when unemployment rate is under 5% especially low skilled jobs.

When it gets that low, there is no one left to hire for these types of entry level, low skill jobs. Nada.........unless you want to hire substance abusers, criminals or other unstable people.


"Don't believe these phony numbers," Trump told supporters early last year. "The number is probably 28, 29, as high as 35 [percent]. In fact, I even heard recently 42 percent."

Trump said this right around January and it corresponds with alternates sources at the time like Shadow Stats

Shadow Stats is reporting unemployment still very high

We see it everytime a new president gets in where they underreport the stats to make themselves look good

Alternate Unemployment Charts

You also don't seem to get the simplest thing of all, if you want good employees you're gonna have to pay good wages.
Trump: We do not care about all that now, it sounds good during the campaign to get suckers to vote for me.
Trump Just Admitted His Campaign Promises Were All Lies

Can you explain "Shadow Stats?" What they base their numbers on?
