During ‘Made in America Week,’ President Trump’s Mar-a-Lago Club applies to hire 70 foreign workers

Obama isn't president. He is in the past. I know you and your leader desperately want to be him, desperately want to be viewed as cool, and desperately want the vast admiration and respect that Obama recieved, but you just have to get over him. You don't have to live up to him. It's ok to be inferior. The sooner you and Trump can accept that, the better off you will be.

I happen to live here (West Palm Beach) and I'm in the Food Service Industry. I know dozens of people who have worked at Mar A Lago. Locals won't work there for fear of not getting paid. Plenty of people I know have been screwed over by this guy; plumbers, electricians, a/c techs, upholsterers, cooks, servers etc...tell the foreigners they'll get $13+/hr lucky if they get minimum wage. MAGA!!

Obama is always on Trump's mind. Even speaking to the Boy Scouts, he says, "did Obama ever visit you like I am"? He desperately wants people to dislike Obama so he doesn't seem so unpopular in comparison. Just like a jealous school boy.

There is an interesting debate happening here.
I am not sure of the numbers off hand, but I do believe that something like half of the illegals believed to be in this country are due to VISA overstays.
What I'm hearing here is that expanding legal guest worker VISA programs could lead to more people being in our country illegally if they do not go home when their temporary work VISA expires, that is obviously true.
So then what I would like to know from those here, should we restrict, reduce or eliminate some of these programs? I have not heard this issue brought up much. Because we would be limiting legal opportunities for foreign workers to take part in our economy, presumably for the mutual benefit of both parties involved.
A curious issue. Generally Republicans may be in favor of such programs so their business interests have access to more lower wage workers. Yet, generally Republicans are against illegal immigration for those who do not come here on legal VISAs. On the other hand, am I hearing some along the Democrat side of things are against legal guest worker programs, however at the same time, the left side of the political spectrum seems to want to look the other way more often than not in terms of illegal immigrants (sanctuary cities, fighting deportations for instance).
To me this is a very very interesting paradox.
And I'm sure that opponents of any Republican President can play it both ways if they want. If a Republican President pushes to reduce foreign workers entering here legally to participate in these guest worker programs, then they must be a racist who hates foreigners, anti-immigrant. If a Republican President pushes to expand the use of these guest worker programs, then does that make them pro-immigrant and anti-American labor? It is a lose-lose in the spin cycle.
Alot of people, some here in the past, have criticized those of us who want to crack down on illegal immigration stating that some businesses rely upon that labor. But then now are some of those same people promoting the restriction and reduction in these legal guest worker programs, which ultimately must hurt the businesses seeking and relying upon such labor?
