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.

"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.

he's running a business and needs to be competitive or he will be out of business i.e. bankrupt. If that means H-1b visas, than that's what it means. As I said, I don't care if foreign people work in the US, I just don't want them voting in the U.S. That being said, I am not at all supportive of abuses in the visa program. The employer has to make every attempt to hire an American first and I'm not supportive of paying foreign workers less than the prevailing wage for their position either. they need to be paid exactly what an American would be paid.
