You come, you work, and you leave. Everyone wins.

Heaven forbid we hire American workers.

These seasonal cheap labor jobs have only ever been done by migrants, poor recent immigrants, or oppressed minorities. They are shitty jobs with low pay and bad working conditions that Americans with any other option would never do.

Then THAT is the issue we should be trying to solve. NOT making it allowable to import foreign workers to exploit. Maybe they shouldn't be shitty jobs with shitty pay that no American is willing to do. If we were truly about free markets, those jobs should go undone until the employers get their act together and start paying real wages. Allowing them to import people we all allow them to underpay is not a solution.

That would be preferred, so perhaps businesses need to prove that American workers aren't available?

Those rules are already in place but not enforced. Funny how immigration enforcement always goes after the people being exploited and never those with the power to stop the exploitation.

You don’t think they’d hire you?

Then why is Trump importing workers every year to staff his properties? Shouldn’t he lead by example?

It’s crazy to me that all this had to happen and people had to explicitly explain to him that it would “hurt the farmers.” How in the world did he not know this? This is who people want in charge?

For those that won’t click on the article:

“At the same time, the Trump Organization has consistently made use of temporary visa programs to hire foreign workers for Mar-a-Lago, four golf clubs and his Virginia winery—filing to bring in at least 1,880 seasonal workers since 2008, including 382 during Trump’s first term, according to Department of Labor data.

The company’s use of short-term, temporary visas has increased steadily in recent years, from requesting 121 in 2021 to asking for a high of 178 in 2024.”

Only because he can’t seem to fill vacancies in his own properties.
