Trump's Organization Attempted to Bring In Nearly 200 Workers on Visas in 2025
Donald Trump’s corporate entity accelerated its hiring of foreign workers on temporary visas this period, even as his government was placing obstacles for other companies attempting to do the identical, an analysis published Thursday claimed.
According to information from the federal labor department, the Trump Organization aimed to bring in at least nearly 200 foreign workers in 2025 for temporary positions at the US president’s Mar-a-Lago resort, golf facilities and his Virginia winery.
The quantity of applications for temporary work visas covering workers including waitstaff, office assistants, housekeepers, culinary employees and agricultural laborers was the record filed by the company, and up from 121 in 2021, when his presidency concluded.
It was also the fifth time in a decade that the former president had attempted to bring in more than 100 overseas workers for temporary positions at Mar-a-Lago, according to labor statistics.
The revelation coincides with a tightening on immigration laws by his administration that has involved the introduction of a substantial charge on H1-B visas; extra scrutiny of the actions of the millions of people who possess American work permits; and tighter regulations for foreign students and reporters.
In total, the business sought to employ 566 foreign laborers over the five years the former president has been in the White House, from 2017 to 2021 and during the upcoming year.
Notably, Trump was criticized by some in the GOP this week for remarks defending the necessity 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 entering, going to spend billions to construct a plant, and going to recruit individuals off an jobless roster who have been unemployed in five years, and they’re going to start producing their defense systems. It isn’t feasible that effectively,” he told a host after she suggested that overseas employees undercut the wages of US workers.
The administration declined a inquiry for response, and the Trump Organization did not immediately respond to an inquiry.
