🔗 Share this article Trump Organization Sought to Bring In Nearly 200 Workers on Visas in 2025 The former president’s corporate entity increased its recruitment of overseas employees on short-term work permits this period, even as his administration was placing obstacles for other companies wanting to do the same, a report released recently claimed. Based on data from the federal labor department, the business sought to hire at least 184 overseas employees in 2025 for temporary positions at the US president’s Mar-a-Lago resort, two golf clubs and his Virginia winery. The number of requests for temporary work visas covering staff including waitstaff, office assistants, housekeepers, culinary employees and farm workers was the highest ever submitted by the company, and increased from over 120 in 2021, when his presidency concluded. It was also the fifth time in 10 years that Trump had attempted to hire more than 100 foreign employees for seasonal jobs at Mar-a-Lago, based on available data. The disclosure comes amid a crackdown on immigration laws by his government that has involved the implementation of a substantial charge on H1-B visas; extra scrutiny of the activities of the 55 million people who possess American work permits; and tighter regulations for foreign students and journalists. Overall, the Trump Organization sought to employ 566 foreign laborers over the five years Trump has been in the White House, from his first term and during the upcoming year. Significantly, Trump was criticized by certain in the Republican party this week for remarks defending the need for overseas employees 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 spend billions to build a plant, and going to recruit individuals off an unemployment line who have been unemployed in five years, and they’re going to start making their missiles. It doesn’t work that effectively,” he stated to a interviewer after it was implied that foreign workers undercut the wages of American employees. The administration refused a inquiry for response, and the Trump Organization did not immediately respond to an request for information.
