BuzzFeed News is reporting that foreign workers are being sought to fill dozens of job openings at Palm Beach County, Florida, properties owned by GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump.
According to documents on BuzzFeed, applications for H-2B visas – which allow employers to hire foreigners as "guest workers" for temporary, non-agricultural positions – have been filed with the U.S. Department of Labor. The applications indicate the open positions are for servers, cooks and housekeeping staff at Mar-a-Lago and Trump National Golf Club in Jupiter.
A key condition of the H-2B visa is that there "are not enough U.S. workers who are able, willing, qualified, and available to do the temporary work," according to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services.
Trump accepted the Republican Party's nomination last week with the promise that he would "bring jobs back to ... America."
BuzzFeed, which said the Trump campaign did not respond to their request for comment on the story, also quoted a Palm Beach County career service director who told them last year, "We have hundreds of people in our database that would qualify for a lot of those hospitality jobs."
