Trump Vineyard Estates, which Eric Trump has owned since 2012, filed the request to hire farm workers and laborers to tend to crops and a greenhouse.

The request was filed through the H-2A visa program, which allows U.S. employers to hire foreign agricultural laborers for temporary work as long as no qualified Americans want the jobs instead.


The jobs would pay $11.27 per hour and would run from Jan. 22, 2018, through July 13, 2018, according to the request.

The winery previously sought to hire 23 foreign workers to plant and harvest grapes last spring.

Despite running on an ‘American jobs’ ticket, Trump’s former company – which is currently run by his sons Donald Jr. and Eric – has opted to take on foreign labor at the president’s Mar-a-Lago resort, which is dubbed the ‘Winter White House.’
......

And although the president has previously argued it is difficult to find workers to staff his exclusive Mar-a-Lago resort, nonprofit job placement agency CareerSource Palm Beach County said there were plenty of workers based inside the U.S. who could take on the roles.

"We currently have 5,136 qualified candidates in Palm Beach County for various hospitality positions listed in the Employ Florida state jobs database," CareerSource spokesman Tom Veenstra told the Palm Beach Post."...(more at link)

They were talking openly, holding their cell phones up. All right in front of a bunch of waiters and bus boys who are foreign nationals

They are worse than just two bit grifters, they are a danger to our country
