Trump hires cheap foreign workers
http://money.cnn.com/2016/12/22/news/companies/trump-foreign-workers/index.html

Trump saves money by hiring cheap foreign workers. Does minimum legal requirement to get them instead of US workers.

While Trump claims he can't get US workers to do low end jobs in his companies, he also does the legal minimum in advertising to get them. Considering the current still high unemployment rate, he shouldn't have to import workers if he was serious about keeping jobs in the US and hiring Americans.

So why is he not doing what he campaigned?

The current economic policies makes American workers uncompetitve. Trump will change that, and after he does, companies like the Trump Organization can again hire American workers without making their companies uncompetitive.

The current _global_ economic situation does make American workers uncompetitive for low skilled labor that can easily be performed elsewhere. As a corporation, why would you pay someone $10-$20/hour for such work when you can have the same job done in another country for $.50/hour or less? Although Trump promised he can change that, he can't control international wages. But he did a nice job selling people into believing that he can do this. Trump would be fiendish WebDip player - glad I'm not facing him in this game. Even if I didn't buy his lies, he'd have half of the other players in the game marching to his tune while he soloed.

These are part time jobs that had to be done on site, meaning locally and not in another country. While at that salary they aren't for people supporting a family, they are in the same range as hamburger flippers at McDonalds or most low skill jobs.

It's just the way the jobs were advertised implied that no real effort was being made to hire US workers. Trump doesn't want to hire Americans when he can get foreigners that are desperate for jobs that they won't complain about mistreatment and illegal behavior at the jobs.

Don't worry once Trump abolishes the minimum wage, he will be able to afford local labor as will everyone else. Maybe you should focus on developing skills that people will be happy to pay you for, to the level you feel entitled to.

As a graduate student at a state university, I found the administrators were taking half my Cost of Living Adjustment (COLA) for annual inflation adjustment and keeping it for their own salaries. I felt I was entitled to it since it was voted by the state as part of my salary.

I wonder why Trump never built in Arizona since they are so close to his views. Cheap labor and old white men first.

Is it me, or is the Modern Diplomacy map really bad?
The starts are more unbalanced than in any other variant, and builds anywhere means there is no incentive to defend your homeland, and lessens strategic depth as there is also no incentive to try your best to hold your ground when you've extended relatively far from where you started. I've played this variant a couple times, but it keeps disappointing me. What's the appeal?

I'm not purely trying to detract here, I sincerely want a counterargument.
