And no employers will be penalized.

Most certainly not Donald Trump, god forbid.

If I was a betting man, I'd handicap the number of paper-less workers he employs at his 3 golf clubs in Florida at 100. If we were to take into account the amount of work-permit-less laborers working on his golf courses nationwide, I'd say the number is over 200.

And even then, I'd bet my life on the over. Having played golf once at his club in Doral (shitty course, would never play again, even if my round was covered), I can safely assume ain't nobody mowing that course that can speak English passably, let alone are in this country working legally.

How proletarian of him to hire "normal" help. Lol.

Based on my limited experience with comparable clubs in the northeast I would have expected the properties to be run by (subcontracted) crews of "you pay extra because we speak english and have no face tats or felonies" type service personnel because that's what the old money wasp clientele expect.

I'm from the Northeast and have played tennis and golf at a few of the comparable high end places - the subcontractors don't usually speak english either, usually the head groundskeeper is white and speaks it well enough to communicate to the staff who know not to speak to members. Alternatively, the groundskeeper is someone that's been in the US long enough to speak English well enough that nobody would think about his immigration status. In some of the wealthiest places, it's usually a kid whose parents are illegal but he was born and raised in the US, was blessed with intelligence and won a scholarship to a great NEASC school where a member of the club is on the alumni board.

I can also attest that some of the multigenerational "my great grandkids won't have to work a day in their lives" wealth types are some of the cheapest and stingiest people I've ever met, and most certainly don't care that the groundskeepers at their too-cool-for-school clubs in Westchester or The Hamptons or Greenwich speak zero english and aren't here legally. In fact, that's the expectation, because god forbid their club dues go up by a few hundred dollars a year (while they spend that same amount on a single dinner at the clubhouse).

I don't golf so my only experience is incidental and limited to a few clubs that I have a business relationship with a vendors for but it seems to me that the waspy country clubs are mostly staffed with townies and a lower representation of immigrants than comparable occupations for different employers in the same towns.

Now, I get that "a few" isn't a trend but the effect is pretty observable. IDK if it's the customers really driving things or if the townies are simply more capable of excelling in such roles.

I've played tennis and golf all over Westchester County, all over Fairfield County, and in Long Island. On the golf side, yeah, it's townies. Same goes for pro shop, tennis assistants, pool staff, and sometimes, kitchen/snack bar staff. But the folks who mow the lawns, clean the locker rooms and toilets, water the greens? Hell no those aren't locals.
