Donald Trump is the champion of outsourcing to nemesis countries he has attacked and does attack, particularly Mexico.
But Donald Trump has a blind eye to people brought here to work with work visas (H-2B) for the hospitality industry in particular.
In doing so, he is infuriating many of his core supporters, especially of the paid anti-immigrant professionals.
Not only has his own company hired thousands of imported immigrant laborers for Floridas Mar De Lago, particularly from Romania, but his administration has just announced that over and above the congressionally-mandated annual cap of 66,000 H-2B temporary work visas it is issuing 15,000 more for immediate use to expire September 30.
Homeland Security Secretary John Kelly made the announcement of the 23 percent increase that he is allowed to make. He said it was temporary to help American business. The decision was jointly made by Homeland Security and the U.S. Department of Labor.
