"As Trump pursues mass deportation, his businesses again seek foreign workers"...
Donald Trump is nothing if not a self-serving Grifter...and playing all his supporters for fools...
...here's an excerpt from the attached article...
-------------------
While President Donald Trump and his administration reiterate the need to “hire American” and crack down on both documented and undocumented immigrants alike, his company is again seeking seasonal foreign workers for one of the luxury resorts he still profits from as president. The request from Trump’s business comes days after his administration released a raft of new seasonal work visas, fulfilling a request from a group that held a fundraiser at another Trump resort less than two weeks earlier.
The timeline demonstrates how Trump’s company benefits from special interest spending aimed at influencing his administration, while it also takes advantage of his administration’s policies.
The New York Times recently reported that industry lobbyists anxious about the Trump administration’s delayed release of a new batch of H-2B visas, which allow foreign workers to do seasonal work in the United States, held a fundraiser last month at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort. Less than two weeks later, the Trump administration announced that the visas would continue to be issued.
On the same day the fundraiser was reported by the Times—just five days after the administration released the new visa spots—President Trump’s Bedminster, N.J. country club filed a request with the Department of Labor’s Office of Foreign Labor Certification, seeking seven cooks and a bartender. Two days after that, it posted positions for nine servers.
The job openings mark the first time in Trump’s second term that his business has sought to hire new foreign workers—though there are listings for open positions at Trump’s Virginia winery that were posted last December.
The announcement for the event, held by the Seasonal Employment Alliance’s PAC, highlighted the intentional choice of Mar-a-Lago as a venue and framed Trump’s businesses as an avenue for influence with the new administration. “Given Trump’s victory,” the release states, “the Mar-a-Lago event calendar is full and we were very fortunate to have secured a spot on their calendar, especially a night where there is a decent chance President Trump will be there.” It notes that the “exclusive opportunity for SEA members” was “due to the generosity of SEA board member and Mar-a-Lago member Peter Petrina.” (In addition to being a paying customer at Trump’s club, Petrina has contracted with the Trump organization in the past to recruit foreign workers for its properties.)
The invitation for the fundraiser notes opportunities for members to stay at Mar-a-Lago and play golf at Trump’s nearby course—both of which sold out. And if that didn’t offer members enough opportunities to spend money at Trump’s businesses, the invitation notes that they can head to another Trump property an hour away, Trump Doral in Miami, and take advantage of special rates for two more nights.

He gets the same advice from me: pay them fairly with benefits.

Trump's a deportation slacker compared to Obama
And what's worse is the Biden gave Trump so many more illegals to return to their homelands.

Read your own Snopes article…neither Obama nor Biden broke any laws or violated Due Process.

If there had been any due process challenges it would have taken years to deport those folks

Which is why the 2024 bipartisan Senate Border Security and Immigration bill was so good…provided
Funding to reduce the time from 6+ yrs to less than 6 months
It was a shit bill and was deservedly squashed.

Care to cite an example of what you don’t like in the Bill? (a rhetorical question)

I have done this on this board multiple times. I invite you to read them again.
And this time, don't pretend you didn't.
You won't provide any backup...but I will. Check out the very words from Sen. Lankford...Co-Author
of the 2024 bipartisan Senate Border Security and Immigration Bill. Tell us what you don't like about the provisions he mentions...and why. Be sure to note his comments about being threatened if he tried to promote the Bill...guess who was. behind that threat (Hint: His initials are D.J.T)...
btw, I've posted this video multiple times before...if I can go through the "effort" of finding and reposting it for another's benefit, why can't you?
I've provided repeated back-up. You just keep ignoring it, because it exposes you.
I don't care what Lankford said before the bill was submitted. It was a resounding beatdown of it in its final form. As it should have been.
Did a quick search with keywords bipartisan, Senate, Bill, Immigration…nothing came up, Jake…I’m
beginning to doubt that you’re being truthful…
What I don’t doubt is that you’ll never admit that Trump killed a bill he knew would torpedo his #1 issue and cost him the 2024 election.
Must have been lightning quick, as I've been clear on my opposition to it.
And the details behind it. I've also invited you to read the bill to confirm these issues, which you refused to do. We of course understand why.
And I do agree that Trump opposed the bill because it would have killed an easy win for him: It would have codified the flow of illegal crossings and blocked him from taking action, meaning we wouldn't have been able to attack the problem appropriately. You know this.
You don't want people to hire legal foreign workers?... only illegal ones?

Scores of undocumented employees at DJT’s resorts have admitted to being given bogus IDs…
I’ve posted this before…but somehow info like that gets lost…or ignored…just like you’re ignoring the obvious corruption going on in the article. Switch the name Trump with any Dem and you’re frothing at the mouth ;-)
Show us the receipts on that accusation. Evidence. Proof.

How's about sworn testimony to that effect...read the Time Magazine article attached...the Magazine
that Trump is so proud to grace the cover of ;-)...
Being a good Catholic man...I expect you to acknowledge the fact that Donald J. Trump admitted he knowingly hired undocumented workers...and true to form, failed to pay them the wages they were due.

Stuff like this is still going on, when you complain about farm labor you are tacitly supporting it.

The old “Everyone Does It” excuse for Trump…you are a master at equivocation.

I don't support it then and I don't support it now.
You support it now unless Trump is doing it, you see the difference?
Support what?

You support "virtual slave wages".
I support the working class.
Not sure how you come up with that...show me...us...the post that justifies that statement.

You don't see the consequences of the actions you promote.

What I don’t see is any backup for your accusation…imagine my surprise. ;-)

If you import people who will work for "virtual slave wages", what happens to the job market?
Do you think we can predict what might happen? Or, even better, do you think we could observe what did happen?
Didn't read it. Won't read it. 2 presidential runs & somehow the MSM & opponents let it pass by.
Clintons , Bidens, the Giggler, late night talk shows, MSNBC, NPR and all the rest. Wonder why that was.
Won’t read it…Willful Ignorance for all to see…God bless you…

Won't read it because you are not credible.
(no message)
I bring you credible evidence, ELP...what do you bring to the table...other than your uninformed
opinions?
Trump admitted hiring undocumented immigrants and failed to pay them what they were owed...it's all documented from under oath depositions. You asked for Proof...all you have to do is read it...but then you'd have to admit to being wrong...not one of the most honorable, courageous and credible men I've ever met.
Throwing accusations around that you can't back up doesn't cut it in the real world...you should have learned that by now. It's a pity you haven't.
