Voter suppression efforts are aimed at precisely this goal.
Lower turnouts tend to favor the Republican party, so lower turnouts are a goal. Disenchanted voters become disengaged, and the disengaged are voiceless, their concerns need not be addressed and it's business as usual for the wealthy donor class..
Whenever you hear someone on P&OC stating that it's useless to vote as it doesn't matter, or the best way to defeat white supremacists is to just ignore them and their rallies, I guarantee you it's a staunch alt right Trumpster.
It's what they want. To discourage voters from going to the polls and citizens from protesting racism.
If we don't stand up and participate, we hand the country to white nationalist fascists.
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?”
Care to show us where it "firsted advertises for local workers?" I don't take your word for anything. Prove it.
Dear.
Thank you for pointing out my typo. And if you had managed to get beyond that, you would have noticed that in the very post you replied to, the advertisement was posted.

The amount of hatred one must have to believe this nation is run by white nationalists fascist racist is astounding.

you guys had no problem with illegals coming into this country taking up jobs that "americans" wont do, but now you do have a problem with LEGALS coming in..
Whatever vetting is done, will be done on the taxpayers' dime.
Other than posting a notice about split shifts and no tips in the back of a paper, there is no evidence to indicate they have made any effort to get Americans to do this job.
Jobs are not listed on online job sites. Employment agencies state they don't receive calls from Mar-a-Lago. Mar-a-Lago does not participate in job fairs.
I guess you missed that the ad directed resumes/applications be sent to a Palm Beach County employment office that works to connect applicants with employees. Presumably, they have info on qualified unemployed people that they can refer to Mar-A-Lago if they want to.
Probably they don't have any as unemployment rate for Palm Beach County is under 5%. Full employment. Anyone who has ever done hiring knows that at that rate, most Americans looking for a job are undesirable for one reason or another........usually substance abuse, lack of work or bad work experience, criminal background, emotional problems, transportation issues, etc.
Guess you also missed the real bottom line. Americans do not want/cannot afford to only work seasonally. If you go back and read the article posted, the person who sounded well qualified turned the job down because it was SEASONAL.
Someone believes the President, is responsible for hiring toilet cleaners in Florida.. haha
Trump has the ability to make sure Americans would take those jobs - that is, if he really believed in "America first", he'd make it a priority that his companies, especially his favorite resort ("White House, South"), utilize those practices of employment. It would be easy for him - one memo, really.
Of course, this is assuming he, himself, cares about this concept. Based on the behaviors of his companies, though, that has always clearly been talk and no walk.
I don't think it's necessarily wrong to bring in foreign workers, mind you. But I also didn't run a divisive campaign on this issue and get elected for it, either.
That is the point. The Republicans quite frankly don't want your vote.
You can not protest these iniquities by boycotting the polls, that is how this type of insult goes on (and gets worse). It requires more engagement from us, not less.
