    The Trump administration has quietly made it incredibly difficult for companies to hire foreign workershttp://bit.ly/2kWENHF

        Does this mean he will no longer be allowed to bring foreign workers into the US to work at Mar-a-Lago as he has been doing for years?

        Unless it’s Trump, he lowered the amount of H-2B visa holders and then when Mar-a-Lago and his other Florida resort needed workers he raised the limit and requested 70 additional H-2B’s. Many companies hire H-1B’s for their technical experience that can’t be filled by US workers.

        To be totally fair, the bulk of the issue is the lottery system, which predates Trump. Silicon Valley is talent starved right now and H1B is an unattractive option. Next start date for new hires: oct 2018.

        So if you need a fluent German Italian or Lithuanian speaker. Just hire an American instead?
