Source: the hill

The Trump Winery in Charlottesville, Va., is hoping to hire 23 foreign guest workers for the coming spring and summer, according to a filing with the Department of Labor.

Trump Vineyard Estates filed the request to hire farmworkers and laborers to tend to the property’s crops, nursery and greenhouse. The jobs would start March 19 and conclude on Oct. 26. The pay rate is $11.46 per hour, according to the filing.

The request was filed through the H-2A visa program, which allows U.S. employers to hire foreign agricultural laborers for temporary work as long as no qualified Americans want the jobs instead.

The winery has filed similar requests in the past for foreign guest workers.

I'm sure a lot of Norwegians would love to come over here for a chance to be underpaid farmworkers and laborers.

He likes abusing foreign workers and rarely pays his laborers.

He loves immigrants. He married one, he hires them over American workers. It's just that he doesn't want them living here unless he can have sex with them or steal their pay.
