Trump Organization Attempted to Hire Nearly 200 Workers on Visas in 2025
The former president’s corporate entity accelerated its recruitment of overseas employees on temporary visas this period, while his administration was creating barriers for other businesses attempting to do the identical, an analysis published recently stated.
According to information from the federal labor department, the Trump Organization aimed to bring in at least 184 foreign workers in the coming year for temporary positions at the former president’s Mar-a-Lago resort, two golf clubs and his Virginia winery.
The number of applications for temporary work visas for workers including servers, clerks, housekeepers, kitchen staff and farm workers was the record filed by the organization, and up from 121 in the previous term, when Trump’s first term ended.
It was also the fifth instance in a decade that the former president had attempted to bring in more than 100 overseas workers for temporary positions at his Florida resort, based on available data.
The disclosure coincides with a crackdown on immigration laws by his government that has involved the implementation of a substantial charge on H1-B visas; increased review of the activities of the 55 million people who already hold US visas; and tighter regulations for foreign students and reporters.
In total, the business sought to hire over 560 overseas workers over the period Trump has been in the White House, from his first term and during the upcoming year.
Significantly, the former president was questioned by some in the Republican party this week for comments defending the need for foreign workers when a business was unable to find people with “specific talents” to fill particular roles.
“You cannot just say a nation is coming in, going to spend billions to build a plant, and going to take people off an jobless roster who haven’t worked in five years, and they’re going to start producing their missiles. It doesn’t work that well,” he told a interviewer after it was implied that foreign workers lower the wages of US workers.
The administration declined a inquiry for comment, and the Trump Organization did not immediately respond to an inquiry.
