So Mar Largo firsted advertises for local workers to fill seasonal jobs. Can't get them. So then hires LEGAL immigrants to fill these positions.
What is wrong with this?
You guys are really grasping for straws these days.
That is just BS. Where did they advertise...in some obscure paper in small print. Don't you think someone would jump at the chance to work at Mar A Largo. They would make tons of money in tips alone. A bartender would probably make $100,000 in a year. But this is what businesses say all the time at resorts.....they can't get locals to work so they have to hire immigrants. Immigrates work for less money. Get a clue.
When a business, which is in business to make money, hires people who can get the job done at a lower rate than those at a higher rate, they stay in business. I know, who would have thought that right? So if the higher paid workers are hired, which hurts the bottom line, then that business could go bankrupt and many Americans loose jobs.
Trump, like any business person, said he can't afford to have his companies in America as well as higher without the visas and still make the money he wants to make. Not many in business stay in business just to break even.
We do need less visas, although in some cases, which this one could be, when it's seasonal, good help is harder to find.
The idea is to make the business climate better. Lower the cost of doing business in America and the jobs will come back. It's basic economics.
So pay people lower wages so they can get even more rich. Got it!
IF that's the case and I used to live in Orlando, why does Mar a Lago need to import workers?
You never answered my question, are you having an illegal immigrant do your landscaping?
Hmmm......if unemployment is low, there are no workers to hire and that is why Mar-A-Lago needs to import workers.
As for my landscaper, he and his wife have Social Security Numbers so I assume even though they are Hispanic, that they are not illegal. I have not asked them.

If it's low there should be no problem hiring LEGAL AMERICANS.
So when a company needs ot make money it is okay to go out of the country to find workers who will work for less than market wage.
Of course it is. It's not anyones call on how a business should operate in order to make a profit when no ones rights have been violated.
If the company stays it goes out of business. or If the company stays they make 1 million instead of 2 million.
Either way, why is it anyones call but the business owner?

Your hearing is selective. I've heard trump specifically say the reasoning is the costs are too high. You want businesses to stay here? Get rid of laws and taxes that make it more costly. That's the truth and that's the full story.
My landscaper does not depend on or piece together seasonal jobs to survive.
He has two permanent jobs.
He augments his permanent jobs a seasonal job. And in any case, as far as I know, he only did this in the past year.
Someone who augments their current income with extra income from a seasonal job is hardly the same as someone who WANTS a seasonal job to survive. LOL,. Get real.
I'll let your own words be my response:

Are those not your own posts?
Do you think no one is capable of going back one page?
At any rate, I have embarrassed you enough for one night. I'm going to give you a break now.
These resorts in Florida and other places game the system to maintain profits, all they need to do is increase wages. They do the same thing in the Hamptons, there are plenty of seasonal workers that will take these seasonal jobs.
No there aren't.
