Trump's Organization Sought to Hire Almost 200 Employees on Visas in 2025
Donald Trump’s corporate entity increased its hiring of overseas employees on short-term work permits this period, even as his government was creating barriers for other companies attempting to do the identical, an analysis published recently stated.
According to data from the federal labor department, the Trump Organization sought to bring in at least 184 overseas employees in the coming year for short-term roles at the US president’s Florida property, golf facilities and his Virginia winery.
The quantity of applications for temporary work visas covering workers including waitstaff, clerks, housekeepers, culinary employees and farm workers was the highest ever filed by the organization, and up from 121 in 2021, when Trump’s first term concluded.
It was also the fifth time in a decade that Trump had attempted to hire more than 100 overseas workers for temporary positions at Mar-a-Lago, based on available data.
The disclosure coincides with a crackdown on immigration laws by his administration that has included the implementation of a substantial charge on H1-B visas; increased review of the actions of the millions of people who already hold US visas; and restrictive new rules for foreign students and journalists.
Overall, the business aimed to hire over 560 overseas workers over the period the former president has been in the presidency, from his first term and during 2025.
Notably, Trump was questioned by certain in the Republican party this week for comments defending the need for overseas employees when a company was unable to find people with “particular skills” to occupy certain positions.
“You cannot just say a country is entering, going to spend $10bn to construct a plant, and going to take people off an unemployment line who have been unemployed in years, and they’re going to start producing their missiles. It doesn’t work that effectively,” he told a interviewer after it was implied that overseas employees lower the pay of US workers.
The administration refused a inquiry for response, and the Trump Organization did not immediately respond to an inquiry.
