Trumps Virginia Winery begs Labor Department to hire foreign workers over Americans
"Gonna bring jobs back to America!" he wants to pay them under $11 an hour, no paid lunch and how much you wanna bet they charge for housing as well?
Almost as bad as him hiring those hundred of workers from Romania for his Florida Mar-a-Lago operation.

According to the application, Trump Vineyard will pay the H-2 workers $10.72 an hour for 40 hours a week, as well as an unpaid lunch break.
The request, filed by the Trump Winery on Dec. 2 and posted online by the Department of Labor Wednesday, show that the Trump-owned vineyard is requesting six foreign workers under the federal H-2 program, a temporary work visa that allows US employers bring foreign labor.
A New York Times report published in February revealed the Trump Organization rejected hundreds of US applicants in favor of hiring foreign workers:
?[N]early 300 United States residents have applied or been referred for jobs as waiters, waitresses, cooks and housekeepers there,? the New York Times wrote. ?But according to federal records, only 17 have been hired. In all but a handful of cases, Mar-a-Lago sought to fill the jobs with hundreds of foreign guest workers from Romania and other countries.?
