December 26: Trump swears his administration
will only 'buy American and hire American'
What he didn't explain in his Instagram vow, however, is why his businesses
haven't yet followed those rules that he claims to be so "simple." In the last
15 years, Trump's businesses have hired "at least 1,256 foreign guest workers,"
CNN
reported. Since Trump launched his presidential campaign in 2015, his
companies
have requested "at least 190 foreign visa workers."
April 18:Buy American and Hire
American: Putting American Workers First
On April 18, 2017, President Trump signed the
Buy American and Hire American Executive Order, which seeks to create higher
wages and employment rates for U.S. workers and to protect their economic
interests by rigorously enforcing and administering our immigration laws. It
also directs DHS, in coordination with other agencies, to advance policies to
help ensure H-1B visas are awarded to the most-skilled or highest-paid
beneficiaries.
USCIS is working on a combination of rulemaking, policy memoranda, and
operational changes to implement the Buy American and Hire American Executive
Order. We are creating and carrying out these initiatives to protect the
economic interests of U.S. workers and prevent fraud and abuse within the
immigration system.

September 24: [From "why do people love -or
hate- Trump? Here Are The 20 Top Reasons "]
19. He cuts government services.
If you’re looking for work and need food stamps so you don’t starve to death
before you find a job, or if you’re a single mother with a deadbeat husband and
two babies to feed, or if you’re a mentally ill person in desperate need of care
or you very might well harm yourself or others, don’t look to President Trump.
He doesn’t care.

October 5: Trump Scoreboard: Total jobs
created approaches 4 million as wage growth still lags
The recovery in employment since the financial crisis and recession it caused

House changed hands last year, the number had increased by 16 million. Another
