Trump Is Creating American Jobs, but Giving Them to Foreigners

You know how Trump keeps telling us that as president he'll create lots of American jobs? Like this:

"I will be the greatest jobs president that God every created," he said in announcing his candidacy on June 16. "I will bring back our jobs from China, Mexico and other places. I will bring back jobs and our money."

The problem is, based on his track record, he won't be creating them for Americans. He's creating them for foreigners that he brings in on H2-B visas:

The temporary work visa program through which Trump's companies have sought the greatest numbers of workers, H-2B, brings in mostly workers from Mexico. Mexicans made up more than 80 percent of the 104,993 admissions to the United States on H-2B visas in 2013. The Trump companies have sought at least 850 H-2B visa workers. 

Remember what Trump told us about Mexico sending us people?

"When Mexico sends its people, they're not sending their best," he said in the speech. "They're bringing drugs. They're bringing crime. They're rapists."

I guess Trump should know. He's hired hundreds of Mexicans in the last several years. And he's still doing it:

This month, [Trump's Mar-a-Lago] resort filed paperwork seeking to bring in 70 foreign workers later this year on H-2B visas to serve as maids, cooks and wait staff, according to paperwork known as "job orders" published on the Labor Department's web site.

And menial labor isn't the only thing Trump thinks foreigners are fit for:

Two of his companies, Trump Model Management and Trump Management Group LLC, have sought visas for nearly 250 foreign fashion models, the records show. 

Trump also prefers to give the job of being Mrs. Trump to foreigners.

His first wife, Ivana, was a model born in Czechoslovakia. They stayed married for 15 years. He did try marrying an American the second time around (Marla Maples) but American women are just so ... uppity. She only lasted six years. So for the third wife he married another woman born in the Soviet bloc, Melanija Knavs, who for some reason Germanized her name when she came to the United States (Melania Knauss, perhaps it was originally German).

Trump and Melania have been married now for 10 years, but I don't imagine this marriage will last -- she's 45 and she's had a child. I can't imagine Trump will put up with that for much longer.

Apparently Trump's whole Miss Universe enterprise is just an audition for the next Mrs. Trump.
