Federal labor records show Trump sought visas for hundreds of foreign workers to fill temporary positions at his Mar-A-Lago Club in recent years. Hundreds of U.S. applicants either applied or were referred for the jobs, but only a handful were hired. There is some debate about whether those applicants were qualified or not.
Cruz makes it sound like foreign workers took jobs from Americans already in positions, but that’s not the case. It’s an ongoing debate whether there were qualified Americans who would have been willing to work the seasonal, part-time service jobs for which the club was hiring.

Out of hundreds, a handful were hired. I guess they want too much money. Foreigners work for cheap or are more skilled. I guess.
Hire American. Unless it costs too much.
A U.S. Labor Department spokesman told PolitiFact Florida that 93 people applied for 250 seasonal job openings. Four were hired, while 79 didn’t answer interview requests or turned down jobs (10 applications were classified with unknown status).
Documents the resort later filed with the Labor Department showed that many of the American applicants weren’t hired because they didn’t meet requirements. Some applicants didn’t want to work split shifts, or didn’t have enough experience. Many wanted full-time jobs instead of part time, or didn’t respond when the resort contacted them. One applicant said they only were applying as a prerequisite to continue getting unemployment.

Yeah. Americans cost too much. So let's bring in foreigners.
Should there be tariffs on foreign workers? Like steel? Level the playing field? Foreign labor is too cheap!

They are not immigrants. They have to leave when the contract is over. #resist.

Point blank asking -- should we allow hiring from abroad before attempting to fill jobs with domestics? Yes or no.
And if the answer is yes, why complain when companies hire those foreigners instead of Americans? Workers being the commodity they are, should this not be a little more tightly regulated than it is? I mean, we have s#fits over foreign steel and lumber, but this is fine?

Why? Maybe they don’t want to stay.

I was more concerned as to why American people weren't getting the jobs.

Yes. I wonder if they might be interested in longer term arrangements.
I wonder of cooks and waiters would qualify under the immigration "reform" the administration wants to see.
