One of the companies of President Donald Trump's children, would be looking for 29 foreign workers to work in a vineyard, since it does not get Americans who want to do it.

According to a report shared by the Univisión Noticias online site, the Trump Vineyard Estates company, belonging to Eric Trump, would have requested from the Labor Department H-2A visas, with which foreigners can enter the country to work in the agricultural sector for periods limited time. Of course, the company must first demonstrate that they cannot find people in the country willing to do the jobs in question.

The report also adds that six initial applications were made in December 2016. Then, in February 22, another 22 applications were added by the president's youngest son's company.

Since 2008, Donald Trump's companies have applied for around 1,000 work visas for foreigners, which could be considered as a contradiction to the initiatives of his campaign towards the White House in which he indicated wanting to lower the rates of foreigners taking jobs in the country.

In conversation with The Daily Progres, lawyer Libby Whitley, specialized in the matter, assured that "it is difficult to find people" who want to accept this type of work since people do not like "to carry out seasonal work in sectors such as agriculture, gardening or low-key,”which is why companies like Trump Vineyard Estates must turn to foreign labor willing to take the vacancies.
