BuzzFeed News reported that companies owned by Trump or that bear his name have asked for permission from the Department of Labor to bring at least 263 temporary foreign workers to the U.S. since he launched
BuzzFeed also reported that workers on these temporary visas often undergo difficult working conditions with minimal pay.

My conservative friend about people who break the law - "Lock'em up!"
Same conservative friend when she gets caught speeding, "Cut me a break, my husband is a cop!"
No cop comments please, the actual husband/police in this case is quite liberal.

Problem solved!!!!

(20,185 posts)if not bigger. If a worker is here on a temporary visa, it's next to impossible to rent an apartment. So that means the employer has to provide housing, but they are free to charge for it. There is no regulation on how much they can charge or the living conditions. So the employer buys a run down house, fills it up with bunk beds and charges them $500 each per month. It's still cheaper than staying in a flea bag motel, so they do it.
I worked as a bookkeeper for a landscaping company that tried to do this. They were even going to fire all the current employees to do it, because they said the foreign workers would be more loyal. I called it Slavery 2.0. They didn't get approved but when they found out I thought they were wrong to even try they fired me. I would have quit anyway.
The thing is, Americans will do that seasonal work if the pay is fair.
