Trump’s Mar-a-Lago is looking to hire 80 workers from OTHER countries. Last year, he hired 78 foreign workers there. This, coming from the man who spews garbage about immigrants and holds kids in dirty cages. The hypocrisy is enough to make you hurl.😡😡👇






..............................The H-2B is a visa that is targeted to low-cost, low-skilled workers and is not under any executive review. H2-Bs, in other words, provide temporary work visas for people to fill seasonal jobs that Americans don’t want.
