WASHINGTON (AP) — The Trump Organization is asking the federal government to grant dozens of special visas to foreign nationals to work at two of the President Donald Trump’s private clubs in Florida, including his Mar-a-Lago resort.
The company is seeking 35 waiters and waitresses at Mar-a-Lago along with 20 cooks and 15 maids. A listing is also posted for six cooks at the Trump National Golf Club in Jupiter. The jobs pay anywhere from $10.33 to $20.01 per hour. They run from Oct. 1 to May 31.
The requests for H-2B visas filed Thursday have been made public on the Department of Labor’s website.
The filing came days after the administration announced it would offer an extra 15,000 temporary, seasonal work visas this budget year.
I think we all know how difficult it is to find housekeepers, cooks and waiters in South Florida. Especially in the winter.
I wonder how the H-1B visa distributions are going at Trump Winery in Virginia? I understand Eric the Gums was having a hell of a time finding qualified farm labor.
Not to worry. There are no qualified Americans who could do these jobs. It takes a lot of Manuel labor to keep one of these clubs going.
I think Drumpfie’s whole schtick is “do as I say, not as I do.”
This is the only accurate description I have found of the disconnect between his standards for himself and for everyone else.
WH: Made in America week. Well the application for theTrump Org. was “made in America.”
It’s time for very vocal demonstrations outside these clubs. People with signs like “Hire Americans first!” and “Locals need the jobs!” Even “I don’t want public assistance, I want a job!” Get the TV cameras out there. Make a noise. (Then form unions.)
