Koch brothers and Adelson give to the cheap labor express candidates.

As far as H2B visas go. I have run a resort in Wisconsin Dells WI, the Waterpark Capital, and can tell you it is impossible to find enough workers. Even maids at $15 an hour. Nobody wants that job. Or like I said they can’t pass a background or drug test. Have people from Alaska, Minnesota or the Dakotas applied for Trump jobs. If not, they really cant bitch, can they? And I don’t know what you mean that he pays them less. They still are paid at least minimum wage.

I have a good friend who is in human resources at Potawatomi Casino in Milwaukee WI. Great benefits. Look on their website. They cannot find enough workers....even though Milwaukee is loaded with welfare recipients. Like I said, nobody can pass a background or drug test.

I live in Florida, have lived near Palm Beach for years. We’re talking about the winter, we’re talking about Palm Beach. We’re talking about a high class resort Club, one of the finest.

It’s ridiculous to think you can’t find Americans to fill maid positions 6-8 months of the year. Like I said, ever try advertising in Minnesota, Alaska or the Dakoda’s.

“Looking for maids to work in exclusive Trump Resort Club in Palm Beach Florida from October-May, room and board provided, minimum wage.”

And yes he may pay them minimum wage, but they are conscripted labor, can’t work anywhere else, so the hours are much longer than 8. They are basically on call 24X7. It’s cheap labor, that’s why he is doing it.

He hires them because of cheap labor. The same thing he criticizes other people for doing. He has products built overseas for the same reason. It’s to make more money. Nothing fundamentally wrong about it, but let’s not pretend it’s for any other reason. And let’s not pretend he cares about American workers being screwed by foreign labor, when he’s a leader in the field.
