Trump on Hiring Foreign Workers: Hard ‘to Hire Qualified People’ During Season

‘It’s very hard to get people in Palm Beach during the season, during the social season’

RUSH TRANSCRIPT:
DICKERSON: "Let me ask you a question that’s been raised about foreign workers in Florida. The “New York Times” said there were people that wanted the job you had said basically only can find farm workers because there aren’t Americans who want the jobs. The “New York Times” said there were people."
TRUMP: "They have to be qualified. It’s during the season within you can’t get people it’s very, very hard to hire people, qualified people. Lot of people didn’t want the job because it’s a three to four month job just during the season, the hot season, the high season. It’s very hard to get people because it’s just one of those things. Everybody is working. And then during the off season it’s easy we don’t have the people during the off season because the club closes during off season, lot of people don’t want part-time job."
DICKERSON: "You say that American corporations should build, come back to America, build their products here, have American work workers. Why would those corporations say version of what you’re saying they can’t find the workers here they got to go other places Y. Wouldn’t they just say what you’re saying."
TRUMP: "Because those are full time jobs. That kind of thing, talking about full time jobs. Lot of the people this we made offers to, when we make offers when they hear it’s part-time job, it’s four month or five month job I understand this they’re not interested. They’re American people they’re not interested. What you don’t talk about is the thousands of people that I do hire. Thousands and thousands of people on my payroll over the years that are tens of thousands of people that work Moore me. Pick up one club where it has high season where very, very hard. It’s very hard to get people in Palm Beach during the season, during the social season."
