A Virginia winery owned by President-elect Donald Trump’s son is seeking more foreign workers, according to a new report.

The Department of Labor petitioned for the winery, called Trump Vineyard Estates, to bring in six foreign workers using the federal government’s temporary work visa program known as H-2, BuzzFeed reported on Wednesday.

Trump’s son Eric owns the Virginia vineyard.
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.

On the campaign trail, Trump often promised he would bring jobs back to Americans. One of Trump's biggest campaign promises was to bring manufacturing jobs back to the U.S.

One of the most important promises Trumpster has made and the one that will get him in trouble the fastest..

[True Dough]

1. A classic case

of "do as I say, not as I do."

[NanceGreggs]

2. Trump supporters are very slow learners.

It's going to take a while for this kind of thing to sink in.

But eventually, for some, it will.

[cstanleytech]

8. Sadly alot of his supporters are denser than quark-gluon plasma so nothing will sink in with

them..............ever.

[Achilleaze]

3. Republicans and their sleazy lies

"Screw Americans again."

[jpak]

4. Fake News

Trump gave those jobs to real red-blooded 'Mericans.

yup

[Vinca]

5. You don't get it, do you? All of that applies to OTHER people, not the Trumps.

They get to keep their slave labor.

6. This Has Always Been

the Repub motto, it isn't just Trump.

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.

[Vinca]

7. No cop comments from me . . . I used to be one (back when dinosaurs roamed the earth).

[treestar]

9. That is legal

so his minions will simply point that out.

[dembotoz]

10. You need foreign workers to make mad dog 2020

Seriously what brand carries the trump brand

[janx]

13. This just made me

laugh out loud.

[pbmus]

15. LOL...

11. Wait! What....?

Damn, you'd think they would just have a sign-up sheet outside Trump rallies. That way the Trump Humpers that are worried about "furriners" taking all their jobs could apply to work in his vineyards!

Problem solved!!!!

12. H2 visas are just as big a racket as H1b

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.

14. Since they read alt media will this even be reported in their fake media?

They don't trust the major news only fox, drudge and breitbart they will not even hear this!

Until it affects them directly that's the only way they will believe it.
