Quote:Records show when Trump needed specialty talent, he turned to another foreign guest worker program, the H-1B visa. These included nearly 300 foreign guest workers who came to work as fashion models, engineers, and hotel managers.

These workers went mostly to Trump's model management company, his international hotel and tower, and the Trump Organization at large.


The Department of Labor requires proof that an employer seeking to import workers tried but failed to attract qualified U.S. workers.

Records show Mar-a-Lago appears to have done the bare minimum required by law to advertise the jobs to U.S. workers.
According to a CNN analysis of hundreds of pages of Labor Department documents, Mar-a-Lago did not place advertisements in the area's largest newspaper. Instead, ads were placed in a local paper with a small circulation and the ads were routinely posted for just two days, the minimum required by law.

Department of Labor documents obtained by CNN also show Mar-a-Lago failed to comply with government regulations on some previous applications for visa workers.

For example, an labor department audit of Mar-a-Lago's 2013 application for laundry workers found "the employer failed to demonstrate that its dates of temporary need, reason for temporary need, and number of positions requested for labor certification had been truly and accurately stated on the application."

In addition, employer statements on recruitment are self-reported, and federal employees told CNN that the Department of Labor does not have the resources to check the accuracy of them.
