According to the Department of Labor, 296 locals have applied for seasonal jobs at the resort since 2010. Only 17 were hired. In that same period, resort requested more than 500 H-2B visas for foreign workers.
When questioned, Trump told the New York Times that his resort had to go with foreign workers because nobody wanted those jobs.
