🔗 Share this article Trump's Organization Sought to Hire Almost 200 Employees on Visas in 2025 The former president’s corporate entity accelerated its hiring of foreign workers on temporary visas this period, while his administration was creating barriers for other companies attempting to do the same, an analysis released recently stated. According to information from the federal labor department, the business aimed to bring in at least 184 foreign workers in 2025 for temporary positions at the former president’s Mar-a-Lago resort, golf facilities and his Virginia winery. The number of requests for temporary work visas for staff including waitstaff, clerks, housekeepers, kitchen staff and agricultural laborers was the record submitted by the organization, and increased from 121 in 2021, when his presidency ended. It was also the fifth time in a decade that Trump had sought to bring in more than 100 foreign employees for temporary positions at his Florida resort, according to labor statistics. The disclosure coincides with a tightening on legal immigration by his administration that has included the implementation of a substantial charge on H1-B visas; increased review of the activities of the millions of people who already hold US visas; and tighter regulations for foreign students and reporters. In total, the business sought to hire over 560 foreign laborers over the five years the former president has been in the White House, from his first term and during the upcoming year. Significantly, Trump was criticized by some in the GOP this period for comments defending the need for foreign workers when a company was unable to find people with “specific talents” to occupy certain positions. “You can’t just say a nation is coming in, going to invest $10bn to construct a facility, and going to recruit individuals off an unemployment line who haven’t worked in years, and they’re going to start making their defense systems. It isn’t feasible that effectively,” he told a host after it was implied that overseas employees undercut the wages of American employees. The administration refused a request for response, and the business did not immediately respond to an request for information.
