Trump's Organization Sought to Bring In Nearly 200 Workers on Visas in 2025
Donald Trump’s family business accelerated its hiring of foreign workers on short-term work permits this period, while his administration was placing obstacles for other businesses wanting to do the identical, a report released recently stated.
According to data from the federal labor department, the business sought to bring in at least nearly 200 foreign workers in the coming year for short-term roles at the US president’s Mar-a-Lago resort, golf facilities and his winery in Virginia.
The quantity of applications for temporary work visas for staff including waitstaff, office assistants, cleaning staff, kitchen staff and agricultural laborers was the record submitted by the organization, and increased from over 120 in the previous term, when Trump’s first term ended.
It was also the fifth time in a decade that Trump had attempted to bring in more than 100 overseas workers for temporary positions at his Florida resort, based on available data.
The revelation coincides with a tightening on immigration laws by his administration that has included the implementation of a substantial charge on skilled worker visas; extra scrutiny of the activities of the millions of people who possess American work permits; and tighter regulations for international scholars and journalists.
Overall, the Trump Organization sought to employ over 560 foreign laborers over the period Trump has been in the presidency, from his first term and during the upcoming year.
Notably, the former president was criticized by some in the Republican party this period for remarks justifying the need for overseas employees when a business was unable to find people with “particular skills” to occupy certain positions.
“You cannot just say a nation is entering, going to invest billions to construct a facility, and going to take people off an jobless roster who haven’t worked in years, and they’re going to start producing their defense systems. It doesn’t work that effectively,” he told a host after she suggested that foreign workers undercut the pay of American employees.
The White House declined a request for response, and the business did not immediately respond to an request for information.
