Trump Resort Files Visa Requests For Foreign Workers

The watchdog group CREW reports:

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.

BREAKING: While President Trump and his administration pursue mass deportations and reiterate the need to “hire American,” his company is again seeking seasonal foreign workers for one of the luxury resorts he still profits from as president. https://t.co/baWZihsDH4
