Who said anything about breaking the law ?
It's an example of do what I say not what I do , he is espousing hire American but his company is hiring foreign probably because it's cheaper than hiring American.
No law broken just double standards confirmed.

I thought this was America? I'm sure as well, there are enough permanent staff on hand able to speak Spanish and assist where needed. 15% of the population speak Spanish fluently since childhood in Florida alone.
It's so funny watching the libtards go all Nationalist on us. What kind of sorcery is this?
I thought it was racist to prefer American workers to foreigners?
Ha! Nice try.
Foreign workers are great when they are NOT replacing American workers. They do jobs no one wants to do - awesome. They get jobs that Americans want and could do except for corporate greed, well then that's bad. If they are more qualified high-tech wizards well then Americans need to step up and be more qualified so we don't lose those cushy sillicon valley jobs to more qualified foreigners.

Says "Ha! Nice try"... then goes on a Nationalist rant lol.
I'm not disagreeing with you in any way, just tickled at the positions of the left finally evolving to where Trump started.
I've always had this position. I don't think it's the same as current policy at all. It don't believe in cruel immigration ICR tactics and travel bans.

Love the spin, the excuses, coming from his supporters. Always amusing. Excuse A, the next one uses excuse B, and so forth.

He never said anything that not letting anyone into the country to work.
No he hasn't, but he's emphasized on Americans first when it came to jobs in this country.
Now even in the scenario his company absolutely exhausted finding any american willing to do the job (probably for slave wage), it still blows a hole in his argument, and those of his supporters, that jobs are just blindly being thrown to foreigners. Especially considering these are hotel and hospitality jobs.
He is making a joke out of the left.
Sure he is. It's all a joke right? He's pumping up his drone strikes meaning more murder of foreigners abroad, his own companies are begging for more foreigners over Americans to come work for them, he's trying to pass a tax cut to once again benefit the wealthy. He's sent his VP off to do a political stunt at the expense of the tax payer, while largely neglecting suffering american citizens in Puerto Rico. He's gutting healthcare, couldn't give a damn about those suffering. This is why the 4 healthcare plans couldn't even make the cut in his own party.
It's a joke to you right? Unemployed americans? suffering americans? A joke? Right?
Right.

No spin at all. He was never against foreign workers.
He has done more to try to bring jobs back to America than any President within the last 30 years.
You do not believe that American citizens have jobs there?
It is up to congress to come up with a healthcare bill.
And you do know that he is not running those business's anymore right?
The left have become a laughing stock,

I love replies like yours when they come up because it shows just how little you actually know about what you're talking about.
You go on and on about what a bad week it's been for Dems as if that has anything at all to do with the topic. Not to mention that I'm not even a Dem so I don't know why you even bring it up.
Also, no, I don't live in Oregon and have no idea what the hell you're talking about when you make a reference to how they do seasonal business there or what that means as far as this topic goes anyway.
In fact, I don't see where you made any valid point regarding what I was saying that you were apparently replying to at all.
We know of at least 12 countries where Trump products were manufactured (China, the Netherlands, Mexico, India, Turkey, Slovenia, Honduras, Germany, Bangladesh, Indonesia, Vietnam and South Korea). Further, Trump products transited other countries through the packaging and shipping process — meaning workers in more than 12 countries contributed to getting many of Trump’s products made, packaged and delivered to the United States

Looks like Trump isn't as prejudice and racist as they said.
Brilliant strategy.

He hires visa workers because he made America so great again so fast that everyone has a job and nobody wants to work at Mar-a-lago. Also, the media. I blame Obama.
Wow! Look at all the jobs Obama created...lol
In December, the number of unemployed persons increased by 632,000 to 11.1 million and the unemployment rate rose to 7.2 percent. Since the start of the recession in December 2007, the number of unemployed persons has grown by 3.6 million, and the unemployment rate has risen by 2.3 percentage points.
Among the unemployed, the number of job losers and persons who completed temporary jobs rose over the month by 315,000 to 6.5 million in December 2008. Over the past 12 months, the size of this group has increased by 2.7 million.
The number of unemployed and the unemployment rate both declined during 2016, continuing their downward trends. In the fourth quarter of 2016, 7.6 million people were unemployed and the unemployment rate was 4.7 percent, 0.3 percentage point lower than a year earlier. Employment, as measured by the Current Population Survey (CPS; see accompanying box), expanded by 2.5 million in 2016, about in line with the gains in the previous year. After rising between the fourth quarter of 2015 and the first quarter of 2016, the employment–population ratio held fairly steady, ending the year at 59.7 percent in the fourth quarter. The civilian labor force—the sum of the employed and the unemployed―grew by 2.1 million, to 159.6 million. The labor force participation rate, at 62.7 percent in the fourth quarter of 2016, was little changed from a year earlier.1
