The Trump National Golf Club in Westchester County, New York, is once again seeking permission to bring in foreign workers to serve as waiters, waitresses and cooks, according to petitions posted online by the Department of Labor Wednesday.

The workers are being sought under the federal H-2 visa program, which permits American employers to hire foreign laborers under temporary work visas as long as no qualified US workers want the jobs.

The fancy private club is located just 35 miles from New York City and its vast labor market. The petition to the Labor department effectively attests that there are no qualified American workers who want the jobs. The cooking jobs pay $14.36 an hour. The serving jobs pay $15.20 an hour. Both jobs are eligible for overtime.

No one from the golf course or the White House immediately responded to requests for comment Wednesday.

Housing cost are very high. A two bedroom apt could easily be $1500 to $2000.

6. Oh, come on. There's at least 14 former members of the Trump administration that need jobs.

11. Hahahaha Turn that frown upside down!

7. Will they pay the workers those wages?

Without crazy deductions?

8. There is the possibility that no one WANTS to work for that jackass.

But how hard did they try to get Americans hired for the positions? My guess is they didn’t do much, if anything, to find American citizens to work for tRump. tRump seems to have a preference for foreign workers, in spite of what he has said about them.
