Trump's Organization Attempted to Bring In Almost 200 Workers on Visas in 2025
Donald Trump’s family business accelerated its recruitment of foreign workers on temporary visas this period, while his administration was placing obstacles for other businesses wanting to do the identical, an analysis published recently stated.
According to information from the federal labor department, the Trump Organization aimed to bring in at least nearly 200 overseas employees in the coming year for short-term roles at the former president’s Florida property, golf facilities and his winery in Virginia.
The quantity of requests for temporary work visas covering staff including servers, office assistants, cleaning staff, culinary employees and farm workers was the record filed by the company, and up from over 120 in the previous term, when his presidency concluded.
It was also the fifth instance in a decade that the former president had attempted to bring in more than 100 overseas workers for seasonal jobs at his Florida resort, based on labor statistics.
The disclosure coincides with a tightening on immigration laws by his administration that has included the implementation of a substantial charge on H1-B visas; increased review of the activities of the 55 million people who possess American work permits; and restrictive new rules for foreign students and journalists.
Overall, the business sought to hire over 560 overseas workers over the period the former president has been in the White House, from 2017 to 2021 and during 2025.
Significantly, the former president was criticized by some in the GOP this period for remarks defending the necessity for foreign workers when a company was unable to find people with “specific talents” to occupy certain positions.
“You cannot just say a nation is coming in, going to invest $10bn to build a plant, and going to recruit individuals off an jobless roster who haven’t worked in years, and they’re going to start making their defense systems. It isn’t feasible that effectively,” he stated to a host after it was implied that overseas employees lower the wages of American employees.
The White House refused a inquiry for comment, and the Trump Organization did not immediately respond to an inquiry.
