They did not HAVE to apply, they made a choice. They keep the wages low to discourage Americans and when Americans do apply they refuse to hire them. They run the same scam at Mar-A-Largo and the other golf courses. This is not news - it was ignored during
the campaign.

On a similar note despite what Trump proclaimed there will be no American Steel in the Keystone pipeline - it is exempt. A Russian company has the contract - what a surprise!

Keen. Would you post the Russian company? The attached indicates about half the steel will be imported, some from India, and some from a Canadian company, owned by a wealthy Russian.

That "wealthy russian" is an oligarch and a friend of Trump's and Putin's:

DeSmog has uncovered that 40 percent of the steel created so far was manufactured in Canada by a subsidiary of Evraz, a company 31-percent owned by Russian oligarch Roman Abramovich, who is a close ally of Putin and a Trump family friend. Evraz has also actively lobbied against provisions which would mandate that Keystone XL’s steel be made in the U.S.

The attached link was interesting and insightful. Who knew Russia was the fourth largest exporter of steel? Or that all the available US steel capacity was already exhausted? Or the timelines for this project predate much of recent events involving Russia?

or that it's another odd connection between Trump and Putin.
