Well, of course. Mr. “I’m going to bring jobs to America” is bringing jobs to America … and looking for foreign guest workers to fill them. Trump’s Mar-a-Lago Club and Trump National Golf Club, Jupiter are looking for 78 servers, housekeepers, and cooks.
But instead of making sure those jobs go to Americans, he is seeking to import foreign workers for the positions, which pay $10.17 an hour for housekeepers, $11.13 an hour for servers, and $12.74 for cooks. He filed applications this month claiming he couldn’t find enough Americans to do that work, and is seeking temporary visas to bring in 65 workers at Mar-a-Lago along with another seven waiters and six cooks at the golf club.A director at a local career services agency tells Buzzfeed that his agency:
… has a database of 1,327 Palm Beach County residents interested in server, cook, and chef positions. He said local hotels are currently seeking his agency’s help to fill more than 856 such jobs. Mar-a-Lago does not appear to be among those that contacted the agency directly, he said, adding that he could not immediately provide information about the Jupiter golf club.The H-2 visa program Trump is seeking to bring workers in under requires that employers first try to find American workers to fill jobs. Sounds like anyone in the Palm Beach area who’s been trying and failing to find a job should be real interested in what Trump’s doing here.
