Trump Organization Attempted to Hire Nearly 200 Workers on Visas in 2025
The former president’s corporate entity increased its hiring of overseas employees on temporary visas this year, even as his government was placing obstacles for other companies wanting to do the identical, an analysis published recently stated.
According to information from the US Department of Labor, the business sought to hire at least nearly 200 overseas employees in the coming year for temporary positions at the former president’s Florida property, golf facilities and his Virginia winery.
The quantity of applications for temporary work visas for staff including servers, office assistants, housekeepers, culinary employees and agricultural laborers was the record filed by the organization, and increased from over 120 in 2021, when Trump’s first term ended.
It was also the fifth time in a decade that Trump had sought to bring in over a hundred foreign employees for temporary positions at his Florida resort, according to labor statistics.
The revelation coincides with a crackdown on immigration laws by his government that has involved the introduction of a substantial charge on skilled worker visas; extra scrutiny 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 sought to employ 566 foreign laborers over the period the former president has been in the presidency, from 2017 to 2021 and during 2025.
Significantly, the former president was criticized by some in the Republican party this period for comments justifying the need for foreign workers when a company was unable to find people with “specific talents” to occupy certain positions.
“You cannot just say a country is entering, going to spend billions to build a facility, and going to take people off an unemployment line who have been unemployed in five years, and they’re going to start making their missiles. It isn’t feasible that effectively,” he stated to a host after she suggested that foreign workers lower the wages of US workers.
The administration refused a request for comment, and the business did not immediately respond to an inquiry.
