President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort has been granted 70 visas to bring in foreign workers for the winter season, The Palm Beach Post reports.
That’s a 9 percent increase from last year, when Mar-a-Lago hired 64 workers under the H-2B visa program.




The new visas will go to 20 foreign cooks, 35 waiters and 15 maids and housekeepers for the 2017-18 tourist season, according to the U.S. Department of Labor. They’ll earn hourly wages from $10.33 (for the cleaners) to $13.34 (for the cooks). The temporary visas allow them to work from October 2017 to the end of May 2018.




hallmark of Trump’s presidential campaign and a stated push of his administration is that U.S. companies should hire American workers. He has criticized Ford Motor Company, Carrier Corp. and others for moving manufacturing jobs to Mexico. Mar-a-Lago was applying for the foreign worker visas this July when the president launched “Made in America Week.”


Trump said at the time, “We believe jobs must be offered to American workers first. Does that make sense?”

Read about this last year. Local employment companies state they have plenty of experienced employees to send over for interviews but they are never contacted by Mar-a-Lago.

Most of the visa workers are from Eastern European nations who are willing to work for lower wages than Americans in order to get their foot in the U.S. door.

One would think the Secret Service would put a halt to his practice of having foreign nationals with such easy access to the POTUS.

What if a Muslim slips in?

Or a Russian spy?

It's a shocking situation.

I just hope they go through the appropriate and extreme two year vetting process.

Surely, unemployed miners could retrained as janitors, wait staff, and line cooks.

Since it's seasonal work, they would still be available when coal mining makes its big comeback.

Maybe they can work to replace the White House toilets with Traitor Trump’s gold-plated ones.
