So people like Rubio are too lazy to work for Trump.

What happened to Rubio’s immigrant work ethic? He’s never held a real job.

It is amazing that Trump was able to jump though the hurdles to get those workers. Delays because of labor problems can cost. The delay must have been the main concern after it was learned the availability in the area was not there.

I am absolutely in favor of H-2A visas and I neither love nor hate the H-1A and H-1B visa programs. I think every possible attempt needs to be made to fill positions with American workers before a H-1A or H-1B visa is issued and I don’t think that a person working here is entitled to citizenship and the franchise simply because they were allowed to work here. Anyone overstaying their visa is here illegaly and needs to be sent home.

No succesful buisnessman can deny himself advantages enjoyed by his competition and no buisnessman goes into buisness to be unsuccesful.

If Trump is truly a champion of the American worker like he wants everyone to believe then doesn’t he have to put his money where his mouth is. He runs his campaign railing about illegal immigration and foreign workers coming in through the h1b and other programs.

However, as soon as his history of hiring foreign workers is pointed out his first response is the old canard of jobs that Americans wont do. Doesn’t this bother you?

It seems to me that Trump is all for populism and the American worker when he thinks it will help him win an election. However, when supporting American workers would actually cost Trump money he was nowhere to be found. Trump would not even admit that he had been wrong to have brought in foreign workers. Instead he threw American workers under the bus by saying his temporary resort jobs were jobs that American’s wouldn’t do.

I’m more amused that a son of immigrants is complaining about temporary workers on work visas.

It is common place for companies to employ temp workers. The company I worked for had temp workers who eventually came on as permanent. However, both Rubio and Cruz might not be familiar with the complexities of getting workers in a timely manner. In this Palm Beach thing this was a classic case of getting temp workers. You don’t give permanent jobs to people when it is a job having a short life.

This job also had a weather component which affected the ability to get workers. You don’t increase the wages because your job was bid at a cost using the prevailing wages. You don’t want to go over budget because of a situation calling for an increase in labor costs. You want to work around that situation and, importing out-of-country labor was the solution. It was a brilliant one, in my opinion.

No problem, it happens to me all the time. I find I start typing replies too fast and pretty frequently end up seeing my spelling mistakes too late to fix them.

True, but ignorant people will remain ignorant - especially those who want to continue posting anti-Trump trash, not knowing their butts from a hole in the ground about business.

Most of Trump’s construction jobs are temporary. Since you seem to be illiterate - let me educate you. Most people who are ot of work - do not want to work. They make more from their government freebies, and to take a temp job - they lose them. After the job is completed, they would have to start all over again at the welfare office. It’s much easier for them to not work - this is a huge problem in obama’s world. Yes, he created this huge welfare class - or enriched it. Now, educate yourself so that you will stop spewing stupid things of which you know nothing about.

Both Trump and Cruz were for H1B-visas with the same idea that they come here to our colleges to get educated, and then they go back to their countries to compete against us. We should let them work here and help our companies.

And I know that Cruz, and perhaps Trump too, have said they need to make sure that there are no American’s that those companies can hire that have the same qualifications. And that the foreign workers need to have same pay. So as to avoid the hire cheap and replace expensive Americans.

Trump jumped ship on these ideas first due to his own rhetoric and voter’s desires. Cruz has tempered his as well after seeing what happened with Disney. I know Cruz also mentioned some study that showed the h1-b folks starting companies and hiring Americans, and being big job creators. Others have said that study may not be all that accurate.

Aren’t these H2b visa a temp worker system? Once these people finish the job they go back home. If the system was run correctly, they would not slip into the underground, vote and collect government assistance. We want the system run correctly. Trump wants the system run correctly. Anyone who tries to create a distorted version of that idea, is a liar.

"The China price". Prior to Wallmart forcing suppliers to meet or beat "the China price" most of the hard goods sold at big box stores were made in the USA. However Wallmart gained a advantage by selling similar goods but at a lower price. Wallmart is now the largest retailer in the USA and every large retailer is now selling hard goods made in China rather then hard goods made in the USA.

Trump can not afford to let his completion gain an advantage on him. Don't blame Trump for the system, blame the NWO globalists that created this system that does nothing to save guard the American middle/working class jobs.

It also is a statement about the professional politicians who bend the truth to use against their opponents. Many times, they bend the truth to get over on the people they represent. When their constituents say no way to them, they use their clever tactics to push their way against the will of the people. I am sick and tired of them. America is sick and tired of them. I could go on about the party establishment, but I think you understand my thinking.

Like Donald Trump Jr. said, “The party establishment, even the Republican Party, will do everything to try to stop my father because they realize if he gets in there, the little game they are used to playing and everyone takes care of everyone else and everyone make money off of everyone else’s thing, and everyone’s doing incredibly well for doing nothing, that all ends.”

GOPe Announce Plans To Go "Full Mississippi"
on Donald Trump To Destroy Him





When little known Chris McDaniel beat entrenched RINO U.S. Senator Thad Cochran in the first Mississippi primary of 2014 it triggered a series of events that became known simply as
"Mississippi 14"


red_hair

shameful seven 1




The entrenched DC republican elite developed a plan to destroy McDaniel before the run-off primary. They decided to call McDaniel a racist, pay for print and broadcast attack ads, request help from black Mississippi pastors, and pay Democrats, preachers and voters to vote in the run-off election. Republicans in DC attacking a republican outsider.

Their Machiavellian plan worked.

In the run-off Chris McDaniel again beat Thad Cochran with Republican voters, but the paid-to-vote Democrats lifted Cochran back onto the throne in the elite Republican Chamber.

Against the desperation of a South Carolina victory for Donald Trump, and now a Nevada victory for Donald Trump, the DC Republican team have re-enlisted the exact same players to roll out a similar nuclear attack approach against the outsider Republican.

Appearing on Bloomberg News the former Mississippi architect, Stuart Stevens, and Mississippi financier/bag-man, Henry Barbour, who carried out the Mississippi Strategy , openly admit their intent to use the same level of vitriol to remove Donald Trump.

stevens - halprin - barbour

(L-R) Stuart Stevens – Mark Halprin – Henry Barbour


See the Video Here (at 23:10) as Stuart Stevens and Henry Barbour are assembled again to discuss the process of “taking down Trump”. Stevens fully admits to the Mississippi 2014 strategy and how it will work in 2016 against Donald Trump.

So how do they do it? Simple, it's war. A thermonuclear political war. There are no boundaries, there are no rules, there is nothing too far, there is nothing held back.

They run attack ads, they'll shout names and make up malicious smears; they'll follow the candidate around to make noise at rallies; they lie about anything and everything; they'll pay anyone and everyone to assist, and they don't care if the high-information voter knows what they are doing; it's all part of the overall scorched earth plan.

They'll pay people to do and say anything, ANYTHING. Winning is all that counts. Destroying the opponent is all that matters. Every means justifies that end. Period.

The GOPe have already hired actresses and actors to appear in the attack ads and to make personal appearances, as actors, during Trump events. The hiring agency is Talent Direct Agency (TDA). The actors and production teams are working out the script details right now.

More than likely the construct begins tomorrow with the CNN debate. Expect a full media assist from an ideological corporate media empire who also has skin in the game and corporate ownership who also see candidate Donald Trump as a risk.

A thrilled attendee for the bloodbath, NRO's Charles Cooke, puts it this way:

charles cooke[…] Tomorrow night, as they stand on either side of Trump, Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz must find their resolve and all-but-machine-gun the man to the floor.

Without breaks for water or silence for applause, they must explain that Trump is an entitled mess whose business record is so questionable that he managed to bankrupt a casino; that he is an unashamed fraud who didn't even wait to be elected president before folding on Planned Parenthood and Obamacare, exactly like the feckless Congress he is running against; that he is feigning religiosity to appeal to people he believes are rubes; and, above all, that whatever he may be pretending now, he has spent a lifetime screwing the little guy.

They must repeat verbatim his previous words on amnesty; they must outline in detail how his policies will make life worse for everyone; and they must point out that a Trump nomination designed to "mix things up" will result, eventually, in more of the same.

In the meantime, conservatives who are not running for president must ensure that every spare dollar is spent attacking Trump. Melt down the fences if you have to; we need long-range bombers here.

If Donald Trump can flood the airwaves with his nonsense, his opponents can counter it incessantly. And while they are at it, they can tie him up in court, just as he's trying to do to Cruz. There are a good number of "just asking" questions ready to be put to them, among them "Trump's mother was Scottish, can he really be president?" and "Trump ran a host of scams designed to rip off the poor; surely one of them would like to sue him?"

Thus far, part of Trump's media strategy has been to say something outrageous and then to move on before it can be rebutted or fact-checked. Why are his rivals not doing the same thing to him? Why, moreover, are the men in charge of the big guns all but flirting with the snipers on the other side? (read more)

Perhaps now you can better appreciate why Mitt Romney is joining the effort and throwing anything against the wall to see if it will stick:

On Wednesday's "Your World" on FOX News, former Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney told Neil Cavuto that Donald Trump's tax returns may prove he hasn't been honest about his money.

Romney suggests the bombshell could include him lying about his wealth or that he has not made all those charity donations he claims to have made.

(link)

You see, it doesn't actually matter if there's any truth to the claim, the goal is to create an absurd hurricane wind of inbound attacks driven with increasing ferocity by the corporate media who will demand the candidate to respond.

In Mississippi 2014 Chris McDaniel was not racist, nor was there anything remotely linking him to anything racist; the goal is to push the candidate away from their campaigning, the truth is irrelevant.

Once the GOPe force the candidate away from campaigning, then they begin selling the false story and using the actors/actresses, or preachers, to deliver an outcome.

By the time the next debate on Fox comes around, well, it'll be peak DEFCON-5 thermonuclear political button pushing because, quite simply, they have nothing to lose.
