🔗 Share this article Trump Business Attempted to Bring In Almost 200 Employees on Visas in 2025 The former president’s corporate entity accelerated its hiring of foreign workers on temporary visas this period, even as his administration was placing obstacles for other businesses wanting to do the same, a report published Thursday claimed. According to information from the federal labor department, the Trump Organization sought to hire at least nearly 200 foreign workers in 2025 for temporary positions at the US president’s Mar-a-Lago resort, two golf clubs and his Virginia winery. The number of applications for H-2A and H-2B visas covering workers including servers, office assistants, housekeepers, culinary employees and farm workers was the highest ever submitted by the company, and up from over 120 in the previous term, when his presidency concluded. It was also the fifth instance in 10 years that Trump had attempted to bring in more than 100 overseas workers for seasonal jobs at Mar-a-Lago, based on labor statistics. The disclosure comes amid a tightening on immigration laws by his administration that has involved the implementation of a substantial charge on H1-B visas; extra scrutiny of the actions of the 55 million people who already hold US visas; and restrictive new rules for foreign students and journalists. In total, the Trump Organization aimed to employ over 560 foreign laborers over the period the former president has been in the presidency, from his first term and during the upcoming year. Significantly, Trump was questioned by certain in the Republican party this week for comments justifying the necessity for overseas employees when a business was unable to find people with “specific talents” to occupy particular roles. “You cannot just say a nation is entering, going to invest billions to build a facility, and going to take people off an jobless roster who have been unemployed in five years, and they’re going to start making their defense systems. It isn’t feasible that well,” he told a host after it was implied that foreign workers undercut the wages of US workers. The White House refused a request for response, and the Trump Organization did not provide an answer to an inquiry.
